Abstract
Se plantean algunas cuestiones sobre la construcción
de fronteras y límites en el contexto de
la Cuenca Baja del Guadiana entre finales del siglo
III a.C. y el siglo I d.C., y sobre los problemas de
análisis de las fuentes clásicas (Polibio, Artemidoro,
Estrabón, Mela, Plinio, etc.), especialmente cuando
mencionan el río como marcador territorial. La
imagen transmitida por estas fuentes no se refleja
en el registro arqueológico y epigráfico: desde esta
perspectiva, los datos revelan la posible formación
de realidades multiculturales que caracterizan los
espacios fronterizos, especialmente, en oppida
como Myrtilis. Este estudio requiere una metodología
comparativa que puede llevar a una mejor
comprensión de los procesos de formación de fronteras
territoriales y simbólicas en el Bajo Guadiana
entre Baesuris (Castro Marim) y Myrtilis (Mértola)
The aim of this paper is to present some questions about the construction of boundaries in the particular case of the Low Guadiana Valley between the end of 3rd Century BC and the 1st Century AD, as well as the problems associated with the analysis of the classical texts (Polybius, Artemidorus, Strabo, Mela, Pliny the Elder, etc.), especially when they use the river as a territorial marker. The image transmitted by these sources does not have a clear reflection on the epigraphical and archaeological record: in this perspective, the data reveal the possible formation of multicultural realities which characterizes the frontier spaces, especially in oppida like Myrtilis. This study requires a comparative methodology that should lead us to a better understanding of the processes of the formation of territorial and symbolic boundaries along the Low Guadiana Valley between Baesuris (Castro Marim) and Myrtilis (Mértola)
