Architectural and engineering elements of the Roman civilization constitute an important cultural heritage. Nevertheless, not all ancient Roman cities and the roads connecting them have been found, mainly because classical geographical sources show a significant lack of precision. A more precise identification of archaeological findings is necessary because sometimes different archaeological sites are proposed as the same Roman city. The geographical reliability of some of the most controversial locations assigned in the literature to Roman settlements of the southern sub‐plateau of the Iberian Peninsula is discussed here by means of a multidisciplinary study
