• With the help of the diagram, trace over the photomap the outline of the Roman city. • On the map of Barcelona look at the name of the present streets that correspond to the Cardo and Decumanus maximos, here as those that approximately coincide with the pe- rimeter of Barcino. COLONIA IVLIA AVGVSTA FAVENTIA PATERNA BARCINO In 10 BC, under the reign of Augustus in Rome, the colony IULIA AUGUSTA FAVENTIA PATERNA BAR- CINO was founded. The city was born around what was known in the middle ages as Mons Tàber. The first walls were not very strong rather serving to identify the urban cen- ter with all its classical elements of a Roman city: a forum or public plaza with the Temple of Augustus (on the crossroads of the two main roads, the de- cumanus and cardo maximi). The 10 hectares that Barcino occupied was divided by streets that formed a quadrant: the decumani (longitudinal streets) and the cardi (latitudinal). In the city, which had about 2000 inhabitants, water arrived from two aque- ducts coming from Collserola and the river Besòs. The remains of the city walls can still be seen today; it stretched out in a perimeter of 1,270 m and was formed by walls 9 m high and 3.5 m wide with a series of square towers (the majority), rounded towers (that formed the entrance of the extreme NW of the decumanus maximus) and po- lygonal towers. Additionally, the remains of the main temple of Barcino, the Temple of Augustus, can be seen as well as a garum factory, laundry mat and dyers (fullonica and tinctoria), and a shop, all of which is situated below the Museu d’Història de la Ciutat de Barcelona. • Locate the places we visited marking their number (look at the central pages) on this map.
