Abstract
La fundación de la actual ciudad de Huelva, y su posterior desarrollo, ha estado siempre vinculada al mar por su condición de puerto natural. Ello ha contribuido a que ésta destacase de otros núcleos habitados del entorno inmediato por su condición de ciudad cosmopolita, al haber sido frecuente la presencia en el puerto de marinos y comerciantes de todo el mundo conocido en cada momento. En épocas protohistórica y romana, la ría de Huelva se conformaba como un amplio golfo o ensenada, donde las olas podían romper al pie de una pequeña península -los cabezos de Huelva- que se situaba como ahora entre los ríos Tinto y Odiel. Las investigaciones sobre la etapa romana, Onoba Aestuaria, han tenido un notable desarrollo en las dos últimas décadas, siendo especialmente significativo los avances referidos a la estructura urbana y el puerto.

The foundation of the current city of Huelva, and its subsequent development, has always been linked to the sea due to its condition as a natural port. This has contributed to making it stand out from other inhabited centers in the immediate environment due to its status as a cosmopolitan city, as there has been a frequent presence in the port of sailors and merchants from all over the known world at all times. In protohistoric and Roman times, the Huelva estuary was shaped like a wide gulf or inlet, where the waves could break at the foot of a small peninsula - the Cabezos de Huelva - which was located between the Tinto and Odiel rivers. Research into the Roman period, Onoba Aestuaria, has seen remarkable development in the last two decades, with particularly significan advances in the urban structure and the port.
