Abstract: enOctavianus/Augustus is said to have bought peace in the Republican empire and to have initiate the new political regime. He is also known as a reformer aiming for universality in the whole empire. As a matter of fact, he homogenized land cadaster’s practices which had evolved in different ways on the entire territory controlled by Rome. This thesis presents a synthesis of the different Augustan actions (direct and undirect) that touched the new Gallic territory brought by Caesar. Those initiatives are analyzed alongside the land cadaster’s reforms. This paper contains personal translations of the historians Cassius Dio and Livy and of the corpus agrimensorum (we focused on the edition of Les Belles Lettres taking up Hyginus Gromaticus, Frontinus, Hyginus Mensor, Siculus Flaccus and the Nameless commentary about Frontinius). Keywords: landcadaster – Augustus – reform – Gaul – Tres Galliae – surveyor – agrimensores – ciuitas
