Abstract
Abstract Conimbriga is the name of the ruins of a Roman city located in central Portugal. The present‐day archaeological site of Conímbriga, which includes a Monographic Museum, is of great importance to the study of the Romanization of the western Iberian Peninsula. Conimbriga was a native oppidum pre‐dating the Roman conquest and was mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary and in Pliny's Natural History . In the first century ce , the emperors Augustus and Vespasian promoted the urban and monumental development of the city. Conimbriga was invaded by the Germanic peoples in the fifth century, as mentioned by the Roman bishop Hydatius, and made part of the Suebic and Visigothic kingdoms. The Islamic invasion in the early eighth century contributed to the growing desertion of the place.
