Abstract
El trabajo presentado se interesa por la reconstrucción espacial del territorio de la ciudad de Egitania (Idanha-a-Velha). Una de las ciudades lusitano-romanas, fundada bajo el nombre de Civitas Igaeditanorum, que mantuvo su entidad urbana durante el período altomedieval, convertida, en este tiempo, en sede de la diocesis Egitaniensis. El análisis de su organización territorial, conectada directamente con la continuidad de la ordenación administrativa romana y su infl uencia en la estructura de los reinos suevo y visigodo, nos permite ahondar en el conocimiento de la configuración espacial del sector interior de la Lusitania durante este período.
This paper focuses on the spatial reconstruction of the territory of Egitania (Idanha-a-Velha). This Lusitanian city, founded as Civitas Idaegitanorum, maintained its urban identity during the early medieval period. During this time, the city was the centre of the diocesis Egitaniensis. Analysis of its territorial organisation, connected to the continuity of the Roman administration in the Suevic and Visigothic kingdoms, offers us better knowledge of the spatial confi guration of inland Lusitania during the early medieval period.
