The Andalusian Centre for Iberian Archaeology (Centro Andaluz de Arqueología Ibérica) carried out the Project: Batallas, Acciones, Escenarios: el desarrollo de la Segunda Guerra Púnica en el Alto Guadalquivir in 2001–2003 in the framework of the Research Support Programme of the University of Jaén (Plan de Ayuda para el Fomento de la Investigación de la Universidad de Jaén). The project was intended as a revision of the locations where this war took place, specifically the sieges of Iliturgi, Biguerra, Munda and Auringis (214 AD), the battles of Castulo and Ilorci (212–211 BC), the battle of Baecula (208 BC), the battle of Orongis (207 BC), the destruction of Iliturgi, and the fall of Castulo (206 BC).

This approach overcomes old interpretation patterns based on toponymic similarity which are not supported by archaeological evidence and which noticeably disagree with the Roman sources as regards the descriptions of the locations mentioned. The results obtained can be classified as two major groups: one being the broad confrontation strategy of the powers involved in two distinct stages, the other being the location of the battle of Baecula, near the town of Santo Tomé (Jaén). The archaeological indicators match, topographically, Polybius’ 3 and Livy’s 4 descriptions. These indicators also yield an amount of undeniable evidence: pottery, arrowheads, sling bullets, lead bars... [ES]Este artículo recoge los primeros resultados sobre el Proyecto Baecula. Gracias a una estrategia de muestreo se han localizado los restos del campo de batalla, así como varios campamentos, de un escenario perteneciente a la Segunda Guerra Púnica. La lectura de las fuentes clásicas, como Polibio y Tito Livio, avalan la posibilidad de que nos encontramos ante los restos de la Batalla de Baecula (208 B.C) |
