Evidence of a Late Republican Roman Camp in Serrat dels Espinyers (Isona i Conca Dellà, Pallars Jussà)

This article analyses the recent identification, in the excavation of Serrat dels Espinyers (Isona), of various sections from a few ditches/moats, attributable to a late-republican Roman camp. These new archaeological data, raises the importance of the presence of a military structure during the 2nd century BC or early 1st century BC in this site, just at the foot of the Pyrenees. This fact happened just in the decades prior to the construction of the Roman wall, as a foundational element to Aeso city or around instability moments during the Sertorian war.
