In a surprising discovery, archaeologists have had a unique experience. They went to an area to search for one thing, but they found something else. A year ago, they were trying to find at least one of the ancient scattered Roman settlements in the areas of Spain. For this, they investigated 57 sites, but after looking at all the places, it turned out that the place they searched could be of a hidden empire.
The team of archaeologists had aimed to find at least one settlement in Spain’s Sierra de Cádiz region when they began the project in 2023, but they were stunned to discover 57 Roman Empire-era sites of ‘unprecedented nature’. According to the researchers, the discovery may also be related to trade and communication routes in the region.
Archaeologists are currently conducting a second phase of research to find out how these sites are connected. This is the first time researchers are closely analyzing and studying ancient Roman settlements in the region. This can lead to more information about this empire.

Archaeologists discovered 57 Roman Empire-era sites of ‘unprecedented nature’. The sites were discovered in the middle valley of the Guadalete River. Researchers from the University of Cadiz focused on settlements in the areas around Arcos de la Frontera, Bornos, Villamartin and Puerto Serrano.
These areas appear to have been connected by the Guadalete River in ancient times, leading experts to suspect they were part of a hidden kingdom. Archaeologists used geo-radar, a device for detecting any hidden object inside the ground, to find the hidden kingdom.
According to the researchers, these findings will help them understand the presence of the Roman Empire in the valley of the Guadalete River more than 2,000 years ago. It is expected that more information about this discovery can be added to the history of the Roman period through in-depth study.
