Mantua Carpetanorum and its inscriptions

Historical milestone · Villamanta, Sierra Oeste, Madrid

Image of Villamanta, not of the place itself.

Villamanta preserves the region's second-largest collection of Roman inscriptions after Complutum, with votive and funerary altars; the mention of the Quirina tribe suggests that the settlement, identified with Mantua Carpetanorum, obtained municipal status in the Flavian period, between the years 69 and 96.
