Augustus founded Bracara Augusta at the end of Cantabrian wars, in 19 BC, most likely between 15 and 13 BC in the political context of reorganizing the Hispanic territories and communities. With very few references in written sources, the new city is mainly known through urban archaeology and by the several dozens of excavations carried out in Braga since 1976. This long archaeological research has uncovered the remains of a vast set of public and private buildings, which also allowed recovering the foundational city layout. Archaeological data has also improved our understanding of the connections of Bracara Augusta with Rome and other Roman provinces and cities, understandable by trade connections and products, as well as the evolution of the city over the centuries with its consequent urban, architectural and socio-economic changes. Excavations have also unearthed necropolises and shed light on the evolution of funerary practices, thus providing relevant data concerning the understanding of Bracara Augusta's foundational context. The city's background is understandable in light of both archaeological and epigraphic data, which point out the clear prominence of indigenous population in the occupation, construction and governance of the new ciuitas. Moreover, research carried out in the surroundings revealed the city's intimate relationship with the periphery and rural area, which was object of land register operations. They defined a mesh of centuriae of 20 square actus that favoured the emergence of villae, a new type of occupation and exploration of agricultural resources that partly coexisted with the indigenous hillforts occupied until, at least, the Flavian era. Available data showed that Bracara Augusta was an ex nouo civil foundation and that it was planned with an orientation N/NNW-S/SSE and E/ENE-W/WSW, coinciding with the one of the centuriae on the rural area. The square city blocks were planned with construction areas of 1 actus (120 ft), including porticos with 12 feet wide, that was the ...
