Trabajo presentado al VI Encuentro de Arqueología del Suroeste Peninsular, celebrado en Villafranca de los Barros (Badajoz) del 4 al 6 de octubre de 2012.[ES]: La red de transportes en el Imperio Romano, que englobaba las rutas marítimas, fluviales y terrestres, sirvió para ordenar y organizar los distintos territorios que iban siendo anexionados. Gracias a esta gran red de transportes se pudo mantener la cohesión de una gran extensión territorial, permitiendo la circulación de noticias, personas y mercancías. El análisis de su configuración y funcionamiento nos permiten obtener un nuevo punto de vista acerca de la organización territorial y los transportes, en este caso del Suroeste peninsular en época romana.
