The present volume on the site of MasGuso presents in detail the results obtained during fourteen excavationcampaigns, focusing, this time, on the Roman settlement. This complex was builtin the late second century BC over an old Iberian settlement, which in turnoccupied the space on which an Early Iron Age community had previously settled,following a previous Bronze Age settlement. The Roman complex of Mas Guso had amilitary-public function, as a praesidium intended to control thehinterland territories of Emporion and to take part in military actions withinthe province of Hispania Citerior, beginning with the Late Republic, c. 135 BC,and continuing for several centuries until its disappearance around 280 AD.During the first decades of the Common Era, the complex was probablytransformed into a statio, directly linked to the local road network,although it did not lose its military function. The building presents aclassical structure, showing a clear Italic influence that is observedrepeatedly and with little variation throughout the Empire. En el presente volumen sobre Mas Guso seexponen extensamente los resultados obtenidos a lo largo de catorce campanas deexcavaciones, referidos, en esta ocasion, al establecimiento de epoca romana.Un complejo levantado hacia finales del siglo II a.C. sobre un antiguoasentamiento iberico, el cual, a su vez, ocupo el mismo espacio en el queanteriormente se establecio una comunidad de la primera Edad del Hierro,sucesora de otra de la Edad del Bronce. El conjunto romano de Mas Guso tuvo uncaracter pUblico-militar, un praesidium relacionado con el control delhinterland ampuritano y con las operaciones militares en la Hispania Citerior,desde la Baja RepUblica, hacia el 135 a.C., prolongandose su existencia a lolargo de los siglos, hasta desaparecer alrededor del ano 280. A partir de lasprimeras decadas de nuestra era, probablemente fue transformado en una statio,vinculada directamente a la red viaria local, sin perder su funcion militar.Adopta una estructura clasica, de clara filiacion italica, que se repite conpocas variaciones a lo largo de todo el Imperio.
