New roman camp discovered in Spain
#1
It´s not a new new (haha!) 09.09.07, but I just read today!

News in Spanish here

It´s located in Valderejo Valley, not far from a village I lived years ago.
(Search "lahoz" in google earth)

It´s dated between the 49 and 45 b.C. or by the Cantabric wars in the early empire. It has 2600 sq Meters, and probably allocated one Cohort,is rectangular, and had a "clavicula externa" gate (unable to translate this. :oops: I hope it´s similar in latin) similar to those in Alesia.

I have been unable to find more info on this, sorry.

"X" marks the spot. :lol:

Which reminds me that I have still to write an article here :oops: about the more or less nearby Andagoste battle and camp, discovered by archeology, and dating from more or less the same time.
-This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how
sheep´s bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
