This paper provides an overview of the combined auxiliary cohorts that were settled at camp on Humac during the period of Principate (1-3 century). After the end of the Great Illyrian revolt (AD 6-9), some of the cohorts that participated in its suppression remained at this camp. Combined Hispanic cohorts (cohors I Lucensiumequitata and cohors I Bracaraugustanorum equitata) and cohors III Alpinorum equitata, that probably played a major role in the building of the camp on Humac, which served as a permanent base for Roman military forces, were among them. Cohors I Belgarum equitata took permanent garrison in the camp at the beginning of the 2nd century. Monuments left by this cohort serve as evidence about the increased participation of local young men in the Roman auxiliary troops, while officers originated from the western parts of the Empire. Also, we discussed the monuments of cohors VIII voluntariorum civium Romanorum in the Ljubuški area, which has not yet been determined with certainty as cohorts equitatae. We dedicated special attention to the issue of marriage between local girls and Roman auxiliary soldiers and officers that, in our opinion, wasn’t adequately treated in current literature. In connection with this, the case of Iulia B, the wife of decurion Flavius Aurelianus, is particularly interesting. She served as an example of Romanization, or how local girls married auxiliaries which were settled in the camp on Humac. Through careful analysis of epigraphic records with their names, we found that previous interpretations of these monuments are not scientifically justified, and that Iulia B[---] is probably from Pannonia, as well as her husband.

This book establishes a foundation for the study of ancient demography in the Iberian peninsula, focusing on its largest province, Hispania Citerior (renamed as Tarraconensis in the Early Empire). The authors follow a multidisciplinary approach that includes compiled archaeological, epigraphic, architectonic, osteological, and genetic datasets. Their integration and interpretation provide cutting-edge research and methodology in this area, and fills a gap in the scholarly literature, as no comprehensive work currently exists on the topic in English, Spanish, or any other language. This comprehensive and detailed study of a single province is necessary to generate accurate demographic estimates and to compare it with datasets from other regions and historical periods. By examining the province of Hispania Citerior/Tarraconensis in depth, the authors provide a detailed understanding of demographic patterns, urbanism, and urbanization rates over time, and link them with the social, cultural, and economic factors that affected the Iberian peninsula and the western Mediterranean from the fourth century BCE until the end of the Roman period. For instance, population size was a significant indicator of economic growth and performance, and the distribution of people between urban and rural areas played a vital role in the negotiation and construction of collective identities. Additionally, human mobility promoted cultural change and mediated information and technological flows. The volume provides the first comprehensive, state-of-the-art demographic analysis of the Iberian peninsula from the late Iron Age down to the end of the Roman period, including diachronic comparisons between different cultures and a significant number of case studies. By doing so, the authors provide new methodological approaches and insights into demographic patterns and their impact on ancient societies, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of the ancient Mediterranean.
