Personal and family promotion through onomastics: the Galeria tribus in the Conventus Cluniensis

Abstract

in this work we study the onomastics of the inscriptions that mention the Galeria tribus in the Hispanus Conventus Cluniensis. The objective of this analysis is to drawn conclusions about the transformations and permanences in anthroponyms of people and families that had obtained the Roman citizenship in pre-Flavian municipalities of the North Meseta of Spain. Moreover, we study testimonies of Roman citizens with origo Cluniensis, Termestinus or Uxamensis that were found in other places of Hispania or even the Empire, as a result of migration and the movements of the army.
