A methodological approach to identify Roman roads using LiDAR sensing technology and aerial orthoimages. The case of viae XIX and XX (NW Iberia)

• A study of Roman roads through LiDAR and aerial orthoimages is presented. An approach to identify characterize them with remote-sensing technologies tested. characterization the main features proposed, providing different tools them. case focused on Viae XIX XX analysed. The following article proposes a methodology for identification applied Northwest Iberian Peninsula, mainly conventus lucensis . Therefore, based two aspects presented: one hand, description techniques, their relevance, validity; other strategies that allow not only historical roads, but also differentiate catalog according structural characteristics. Finally, brief context state research in Peninsula explained order apply proposed methods cases studies routes Itinerarium Antonini Augusti.
