24 – The Presence of the Romans in the Territory of Arouca with Why Not On Nature
#preescolar, #primeirociclo
The presence of the Romans in Arouca dates back to the late Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsula, which took place between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. During this period, the region that is now known as Arouca was part of the Roman province of Lusitania. The Romans settled in Arouca due to its strategic location on trade routes and the region’s agricultural potential. They built roads and bridges to facilitate the movement of people and goods, as well as setting up a system of administrative and military organization. In addition, traces of Roman villas and other settlements have been found around Arouca, indicating the presence of a more established Roman population in the area. These villas were agricultural complexes that served as production and housing centers for the local Roman elites. The Roman influence in the region can also be seen in agricultural practices and the introduction of crops such as vines and olive groves, which are still important in the local economy today.
