Abstract

In this work we present two castra aestiva recently discovered in the mountains of central Asturias. The constructive remains for both marching camps are described, and we point out the threats that endanger their preservation. These two camps are nearby the route of La Mesa, a very important road in the Roman period through the Cantabrian Mountains. Finally, we suggest some hypothesis for these marching camps, attending the territorial context of the surroundings during Roman times, in order to get possible research lines which could contextualize them in a functional and chronological sense.
