Roman Hispania
Centum Cellas
Today: Belmonte, Portugal
- Years
- 50–409
A villa on the hill of Santo Antão raised around the middle of the 1st century by Lucius Caecilius, a Roman citizen who traded in tin. A fire destroyed it in the middle of the 3rd century and it was rebuilt. It was taken for a camp, but the excavations of the 1960s and 1990s point to a villa; the name, Centuncelli, appears in the charter of 1188.
