Principles of the Roman cadastre in the north-western provinces of the Empire
The article is devoted to the formation of the Roman cadastre in the provincial territories. First of all, the Romans managed to do this in their north-western provinces in the south of Gaul. Modern research methods have made it possible to reconstruct both the early methods of Roman land surveying (scamination-strigation) - division into rectangular units of area, and the more advanced ones-division by limits into square centuries. The main axis of all land masses, the Roman land survey in the north-western provinces served as the via Domitia.
