Arquitectura y desarrollo urbano en la zona monumental de Carteia. ¿Tradición, evolución o innovación?

Abstract

This paper analyses the construction techniques documented in the town of Carteia (San Roque, Cádiz) from the Carthaginian to the Roman Republican and Imperial periods. Through a detailed analysis of the different known public buildings in this metropolis, we attempt to establish to what extent the construction techniques constitute an indicative element for defining what corresponds to tradition, evolution or innovation in the period in which the Carthaginian- Hellenist and Roman cultures converged in this Baetican town.
