Abstract
In this paper it is studied the process of the use of monumenta in southern Hispania through the archaeological and epigraphic documents at the end of the first century AD. The social and economic changes that occur in Hispania Ulterior in the late Republican time emerge in the age of Caesar and Augustus (with new municipia and coloniae). It produces an important change in the urban necropolis with the adoption of the monumenta caracteristic of Rome and the Italian Peninsula. The funerary archaeology of this time in the cities of southern Hispania proves this process of cultural and ideological changes and adaptations through the graves.

Summary
Si la Hispania Ulterior Baetica “nace” con Augusto, podemos afirmar, al menos de manera general, en principio, que fue en ese largo período del principado augusteo cuando comienza a hacerse efectiva en muchas de las comunidades de la nueva provincia la transformación de los espacios sepulcrales, disponiéndose necrópolis urbanas a la manera romana, 1 tal como se habían ido conformando en la Península Itálica a lo largo del siglo I a.C. Como es sabido, en Italia se conforman verdaderas viae sepulcrales, 2 donde surge una típica arquitectura funeraria, a base de monumenta, de tipología diversa, sobre todo, tumbas con frisos dóricos y coronados por pulvinos –en forma de altar– o por edículas abiertas donde se exponían los retratos funerarios o por tipos turriformes cerrados.
