Description
Through the historiographic data and the architectonic and archaeologic study of the Roman remains found during the 18th and 19th Centuries, today disappeared, we present here an hypothesis about the Augustean construction of a big tower in Campa Torres. This would be identified as a lighthouse controlling the entrance of the Gijon's bay. The commemorative stone of Cn. Calpurnius Piso (CIL II, 2703), dated on 9-10 AD, was founded in this building. We cannot accept the identification of this monument as one of the wellknown Arae Sestianae. This light-house, with a symbolic character as well a purpose of informing to the mariners the access of the harbour, would be erected in a militarized region recently conquered.

من خلال البيانات التاريخية والدراسة المعمارية والأثرية للبقايا الرومانية التي تم العثور عليها خلال القرنين الثامن عشر والتاسع عشر، اختفت اليوم، نقدم هنا فرضية حول البناء الأوغسطي لبرج كبير في كامبا توريس. سيتم تحديد هذا على أنه منارة تتحكم في مدخل خليج خيخون. الحجر التذكاري للكنيسة. تأسس كالبورنيوس بيسو (CIL II، 2703)، بتاريخ 9-10 م، في هذا المبنى. لا يمكننا قبول تحديد هذا النصب كواحد من Arae Sestianae المعروفة. سيتم إنشاء هذا المنارة، ذات الطابع الرمزي وكذلك لغرض إعلام البحارة بالوصول إلى الميناء، في منطقة عسكرية تم غزوها مؤخرًا.Translated Description (English)
