Roman sanctuary found in Spain


Recommended Posts

A Roman sanctuary has been discovered in a cave at Cova de les Dones in Valencia, Spain. Along with fifteen Roman inscriptions, a coin of Emperor Claudius was found on the ceiling (pictured below). This suggests the site may have been used for ritual purposes by the Romans during the first century AD.

The cave was utilized before the Romans, but these findings confirm its later use by the Romans.
