Roman Hispania

Conimbriga

Today: Condeixa-a-Nova, Portugal

Years: 139 BCE–409

The Romans took the town in the campaigns of Decimus Junius Brutus, in 139 BCE, and it sat on the military road from Olisipo to Bracara Augusta. Under Augustus the public baths and the forum went up, and at the end of the 4th century a wall some fifteen hundred metres long, built in haste against the threat of invasion. The Suebi took it in 468 and it was gradually abandoned; it is the best studied Roman site in Portugal.
