Abstract
This work presents the last updates in the study of grain supply of the Roman towns in Hispania. The purpose of this study is to discuss the issue of provisioning by going beyond the standpoint found in literary sources, and in particular by focusing on horrea and granaries. These remains are considered as the most valuable sources to obtain information related to food production, storage and redistribution. Both granaries and storage buildings preserved in the territory and those preserved in the city centre are included in this study. By reinterpreting and analysing epigraphic testimonies, we present new approaches to address the management of grain in the Roman cities in Hispania.

Summary
En este trabajo se presentan las últimas novedades sobre el estudio del aprovisionamiento de grano y otros productos agrícolas en las ciudades hispanorromanas. Se pretende abordar la cuestión del abastecimiento, superando la visión que nos ofrecen las fuentes literarias, y centrando su atención en los restos materiales que mejor nos informan sobre la producción, el almacenaje y la redistribución de los alimentos, es decir, los horrea y graneros conservados tanto en el territorio como en el núcleo urbano de las antiguas ciudades romanas. La reinterpretación y análisis de los testimonios epigráficos nos permiten además presentar nuevos planteamientos sobre la gestión del cereal y otros productos alimentarios en las ciudades hispanorromanas
