Aquae Flaviae - Roman Domain

Roman Domain

Aquæ Flaviæ was a major city in the Roman province of Gallaecia, an important and strategic post, where three of the most important Roman roads converged: the roads to Bracara Augusta, Asturica and Lamecum. There was much movement between Bracara Augusta and Asturica, for the region had natural resources that were exported to Rome.

The city achieved municipium status in 79BC by Vespasian.
