The 'Ciclo Internacional de Conferencias Ciudades Romanas de Hispania II' is an online conference series dedicated to the study of Roman cities within the Lusitania province. Following previous installments focused on Tarraconensis and Baetica, this final phase examines Lusitania, a territory that was later Romanized but hosted numerous urban centers crucial to Roman interests in the Iberian Peninsula. The cycle, which ran from 2020 to 2022, has served as a key part of the National Museum of Roman Art's (MNAR) annual programming, aiming to present the current state of knowledge regarding Hispania's most significant cities. The Lusitania program features lectures on specific sites such as Balsa, Myrtilis, Salacia, Civitas Igaeditanorum, Augustobriga, Ossonoba, and Vissaium, delivered by experts from various Portuguese universities and the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport. The conferences are streamed live on YouTube every Thursday at 8:00 PM, with full program details available for download.
