Construcciones de Opus Quadratum en Córdoba

Abstract

The object of this work is to value the importance of certains buildings of the province and city of Cordoba in the use and diffusion of the technics of roman construction in the Betica province. In concret, the opus quadratum, scasly represented in other hispanorroman cities had a full use in Cordoba, so much in republican, as in imperial time. Like this, we could considere the presence of this technic like a way to give prestige to the city chosen as the Betic capital. They also made in opus quadratum the bridges of Villa del Río y Los Pedroches, that can be considered as fundamental elements in the roads of comunication of the Cordoba city with other important places.
