the story of its name


The story of the city begins on the first century with the roman legion: Legio VII Germina installed in the place a permanent military camp. The name of the city derives from the roman legion. They had to protect the territory from the Astures and Cantabrians and the main thing to protect was the gold they extracted from the golden mines in Las Médulas.

  1. What a beautiful photo =)

    Just a technical note: I might rephrase the first sentence to something like, "The story of the city began in the first centry with the Roman legion..."

    I like your blog =)

  2. Wow, I want to see more pictures. The landscape looks amazing. Where is this located in relation to the city?

    A comment about capitalization: The Roman Legion is a proper noun, so it should be capitalized.

    When was the city actually founded? Are there any buildings left from the first century?

  3. Who are the Astures and Cantabrians?

    Just a few grammar notes: The story of the city begins IN the first century. Also, I think you mean "Legio VII installed a permanent military camp"
