Curia, Valeria Roman site, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
Curia, the meeting place of the Ordo Decurionum, local council and legislative body, in the Roman settlement of Valeria, founded 93-82 BC, near the village of Valeria, in Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The Decurions who met here controlled all the public services, taxes and maintenance in the city. Baby skeletons were found in the foundations of the building, as an offering. Excavations at the site have also revealed a nymphaeum, exedra, forum, aqueducts and private houses. Picture by Manuel Cohen
