RESEARCH HISTORY

The Cercadilla Palace was built in Cordoba during the reign of Maximianus Herculius, emperor during the 3rd century AD who, together with Diocletian, Constantinus, Chlorus and Galerius, formed what is known as the first tetrarchy, a government of four that for a time guaranteed the integrity of the immense territory that comprised the Roman empire.  The Romans conquered Corduba in the year 206 AD and the Roman Empire spread out through all the Mediterranean Sea but it went through a period of crisis. Before that, the emperor Aurelian in the year 274 AD tried to put an end to the separatists and restore the unity of the empire, then Diocletian tried to decentralize the Empire with the establishment of the Tetrarchy. Nevertheless, Gothic people penetrated and invaded Greece, establishing a kingdom in the Northeast.  The main causes of the crisis where the weakness of the different emperors, the difficulty in collecting taxes and the pressure of the Barbarians.

OCCUPATION SEQUENCE OF THE ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE

It is known that the palace was built between 293-305 AD, which allows us to associate the palace with the ruling emperor of that tetrarchy, specifically the one in charge of the western part of the empire: Maximianus Herculius.  This is why the Cercadilla Palace is also known as the Palace of Maximianus Herculius. The date on which Cercadilla was built is known thanks to the stratigraphic sequence, both the relative dating of the sequence itself and the pottery and coins recovered from the foundations of the palace, and above all because an inscription has been found in a thermal bath, all of these information make it possible to date the construction of the monument.  According to archaeological experts such as Rafael Hidalgo Prieto, the Palace may have been built for three reasons; firstly, the possibility that the Cordovan complex was constituted as a private villa; secondly, that it was the seat of the governor of Betica or the vicarius Hispaniarum and, finally, that it was built
