IMPACTVM. Mapping the impact of the Augustan colonies on the Early Roman Empire
Augustus founded several dozen colonies and settled Italian veterans in them during his reign (27 BC-14 AD). The exact number of colonies is still uncertain, but this large set of cities is scattered across the whole contour of the Mediterranean Sea and in three different continents. Augustan colonisation is fundamental for understanding the de- and reterritorializing processes that occurred during the creation of the social, political, and administrative structure of the early Roman Empire. From Augustus’ words , we can observe the importance of the colonisation project, not only in terms of political purposes, but also as a migration policy oriented towards specific aims. Augustus implemented the colonial model developed during the Republic and used mainly in Italy. Republican colonies were understood like small islands of Roman civilization from the colonial and imperialist vision.
The epigraphy produced in veteran colonies is a key source for our understanding of how Latin and epigraphy was spread in local communities across the Roman world.
Taking the first epigraphic habit of the veteran colonies of this age, we can study the deterritorialising method of the Augustan strategy and rewrite Roman colonisation at the beginning of the Empire. Considering these issues, the objectives of IMPACTVM are:
1. Analysis of the conditions of the penetration and methods of implantation of the first Latin Epigraphy of provinces through veteran colonies (1st century).
2. Identification of agents and epigraphic methods of colonial implantation.
3. Investigation of the colonial disruption of cosmology and world view from abstraction and the creation of written spaces.
4. Creation of an innovative poly-comparative scientific analytical and theoretical model between West and East.
To carry out this research, a total of 6 study cases have been selected due to the colonial impact in their territory and local communities and their important Augustan corpus of inscriptions.
• (c1) colonia Augusta Emerita (Mérida, Spain) in Lusitania
• (c2) colonia Augusta Lugdunum (Lyon, France) in Gallia
• (c3) colonia Iulia Carthago (Carthage, Tunisia) in Africa
• (c4) colonia Iulia Corinthus (Corinth, Greece) in Achaia
• (c5) colonia Iulia Augusta Philippensis (Filippoi, Greece) in Macedonia
• (c6) colonia Iulia Nobilis Cnossus (Knossos, Greece) in Creta et Cyrenaica
