Description:
|
|
The first incursions made by Roman troops in what is today the region of Madrid (then known as Carpetania) date back to the early second century BCE. After completing their conquest in the 1st century BCE, they built Complutum (today Alcalá de Henares); this was surrounded by agricultural villas. This is the only Roman town in the Madrid district. The fact that the Romans definitely introduced the cultivation of vines for making wine (a symbol of wealth, distinction and civilisation) in the Iberian Peninsula is proven by the mosaic from the former House of Bacchus (4th century), now kept in the Regional Archaeological Museum.
