guy Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Numantia was famous for its resistance against Rome (153-133 BCE) during the Celtiberian Wars. After 20 years of hostilities, the Roman Senate gave Scipio Aemilianus Africanus the command to capture the city, which he did after a several month siege. The destruction of the city ended all serious resistance to Rome in Celtiberia. The site is about two hours by car away from Madrid. Here is an interesting video on discovering the ancient Roman roads in the area. Edited June 19, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
