Abstract
The deduction of the Roman colony of Sena Gallica undoubtedly represents a turning point and benchmark in the process of Romanization of the ager Gallicus and Cisalpine Gaul between the fourth and second centuries BC. The point of arrival of the groups of mercatores from Latium already during the fourth century BC or the starting point in the structuring of a new portion of ager publicus following the battle of Sentinum (295 BC), recomposing the dynamics at the basis of the foundation of the colony (290–284 BC) and the material forms with which it was built, means reconstructing an important piece of the times and ways of colonization of the ager Gallicus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
