Within the context of the I+D+i Project El tejido balneario durante \u00e9poca romana y tardoantigua en Hispania<\/em> (15387\/PHCS\/10) (2014-2017), coordinated by G. Matilla S\u00e9iquer<\/strong> (professor of Ancient History at the University of Murcia) and funded by the S\u00e9NeCa Foundation<\/strong> (Science and Technology Agency of the Region of Murcia), a research book was carried out, focused specifically on the most significant mineral-medicinal sites of the Iberian Peninsula.<\/p>\n

This book entitled Ancient thermalism in Hispania. An analysis of spas in Roman and late Roman times in the Iberian Peninsula <\/em><\/strong><\/a>has been coordinated by G. Matilla S\u00e9iquer and S. Gonz\u00e1lez Soutelo<\/strong>, and it was published by the prestigious CSIC <\/strong>publishing house within the collection of the Anejos del Archivo Espa\u00f1ol de Arqueolog\u00eda (2017, n\u00ba 78). <\/strong>It includes a significant number of contributions of a large number of specialists in different topics related to ancient thermalism in the Iberian Peninsula.<\/p>\n

This book has been structured in five chapters: 1)<\/strong> The first one was focused on the discussion about the concept, definition and hierarchical criteria of Roman spas, based on Hispanic examples; 2)<\/strong> The second one was devoted to recent excavations or revisions that have been carried out in the Peninsula in recent years, mainly in Chaves-Aquae Flaviae<\/em> (Vila Real); Las Burgas in Orense; the ‘Carlos III’ Spa in Trillo (Guadalajara); the thermal spa of Archena (Murcia), the thermal spa of Alange (Badajoz); Isla Plana building (Cartagena); Alhama de Murcia and Fortuna (Murcia), among others, described by the directors and researchers of these sites; 3)<\/strong> The third is dedicated to the relationships between spas, cities and territories, with the Roman road network, from the Roman period to Al-Andalus; 4)<\/strong> The fourth is devoted to the society and religion surrounding the mineral-medicinal waters in Hispania; 5)<\/strong> The fifth and last chapter includes one of the main objectives of the research project: the \u2018Spa Map of Hispania\u2019.<\/em><\/strong> This is a brief description of 152 healing springs with very different types of remains of hte Roman times, based on the consultation of multiple bibliographies and visits to most of these sites.<\/p>\n

After its publication on paper in 2017, it is finally available online<\/a> on the website of the CSIC publishing house<\/strong>, where you can find the contents of this publication and download it free of charge.<\/p>\n

We hope that, with this new step favoured by the CSIC publishing institution, the research on ancient thermalism developed in the Iberian Peninsula in recent years will be more accessible.<\/p>\n
