The Archaeological Museum of Alicante is organising a conference on "Valencian Roman cities. Actuality of the historical-archaeological investigation", with the aim of updating the investigations in the privileged Roman cities (municipalities and colonies) of the current territory of the Valencian Community.
In recent years, the intense archaeological activity on these urban centres has provided a large amount of information that needs to be summarised in a synthetic way, addressing the novelties and new perspectives that are opening up for their knowledge, which is fundamental for understanding the historical development of the Roman world.
On the other hand, in the particular cases of each of the cities, actions aimed at a more open dissemination will be addressed, such as the museumisation of the sites or monuments, exhibitions, educational and recreational activities, citizen participation in these activities, etc.
In short, a forum for archaeologists and historians to debate on the present and future of specialised knowledge and its projection to society of Valencian Roman urban centres.
The conference is structured in 5 blocks:
1.- Block A.- Introduction and overview.
2.- Block B.- A view from the capitals: Tarraco and Carthago Nova.
3.- Block C.- Valencian Roman cities.
4.- Block D.- Visit to the deposits of Lucentum e Ilici.
5.- Block E.- Round table, question time and conclusions.
