Roman Hispania

Gijón

Today: Spain

Years: 1–409

After the Cantabrian wars the Romans settled in the hillfort of Noega, on the Campa Torres, and from the 1st century left it for the foot of the hill of Santa Catalina, today Cimadevilla. Its Roman name is not known: Gigia, often given to it, belongs to Cea, in León. It was a place of some regional weight, the end of a branch of the Vía de la Plata and a Cantabrian port, walled between the 3rd and 4th centuries; how far it was a town is disputed.
