Through the analysis of the archaeological and epigraphic record from a large group of Hispanic cities, we conducted a comprehensive examination of the evolution and transformation of urban centers in the second century AD. Generally, the archaeological record reveals a shifting trend between the constructive development and the urban vitality which characterize the first third of the second century AD and the last two thirds of this century, when the constructive exuberance disappears. Specifically, in the late Antonine and early Severan phase, an urban disjunction between decline and continuity was developed.
