En savoir plus sur le livre

The search for the necropolis near Numantia has spanned nearly a century, revealing only fragments of a civilization that famously defeated multiple Roman generals. Despite extensive surveys since 1905, the complete customs and practices of this resilient people remained elusive until the early 1990s. It was then that poachers, equipped with modern metal detectors, accidentally uncovered the necropolis, unaware of its significant archaeological value. This discovery promises to shed light on a culture that resisted Roman conquest for two decades.
