Today, most efforts to compile and share documents related to the Ancient World have technology as an ally. In both digital mapping and the inclusion of epigraphic, numismatic and iconographic documents on open access platforms, digital technology is essential for scientific work on Antiquity. This article, which seeks to address this question, is divided into two parts: a theoretical one, aimed at understanding how the Digital Classics area underlines one of the great current additions to the Humanities, which is digital technology; and another methodological one, in which the methods with their selections and choices that allow the creation of a map of the network are presented. As a case study, we present the problem of the network of connections built from the contact between Augusto and the magistri uici and the production of everyday religious actions and interactions, as well as the partial results of the reconstruction of the map developed by Digital Augustan Rome to reach our goal of demarcating a network over it.
