Historical milestone · Garray, Frentes, Soria

Image of Garray, not of the place itself.

Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus surrounded Numancia with a line of circumvallation of some nine kilometres with walls, towers and palisades; after thirteen months of hunger and disease, in the summer of 133 the besieged put themselves to death rather than surrender.

134-133 a. C.
