The 57 sites of this lost empire were found across the Spanish regions of Arcos de la Frontera, Bornos Villamartin, and Puerto Serrano. The team found that these settlements were connected through trade and communication routes along the Guadalete River. With the high number of settlements and the way they were placed, the team believes that the area was perhaps much more important to the Romans than what we previously believed.
The archeology team used technology like radar to find structures buried underneath the surface of this lost empire. Using this sophisticated radar technology, they were able to see Roman-built wall structures under the ground that would have been completely hidden otherwise. Once these Roman structures were identified, the archeologists were able to start excavating the Roman villa of El Canuelo in Bornos, finding interesting things like walls separating residential parts of the villa from places of work.
