Abstract: Rubricata and the River develops the case for identifying the Roman settlement proposed at Sant Feliu de Llobregat with Rubricata, the city mentioned by Ptolemy. It brings together ancient geographical sources, historical cartography, river landscapes, roads and water infrastructure to reconsider the relationship between Sant Feliu, the Llobregat and Roman Barcino.
