Los sitios de Numancia y los campamentos de Renieblas

Here we focus on the surroundings of Numantia and the five Renieblas camps: the first is related to Cato the Elder's campaign against Numantia in 195 BC. The third is a winter garrison of Nobilior from 153 BC. The fourth and fifth can be dated to the Sertorian Wars (82 BC and 72 BC). After twenty years of war against Numantia (starting in 153 BC), the Roman Senate decided to send its most famous general, Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus (who had destroyed the city of Carthage), who arrived in the area in October 134 BC, after ravaging the Vaccaei countryside of the Middle Duero, who supplied the people of the Upper Duero with wine and grain. In the following months, with an army of 60,000 men (including Italian legionaries and indigenous auxiliary troops) against the 4,000 Numantines trapped in their city, he dedicated himself to isolating Numantia with an iron siege consisting of seven camps connected by a powerful wall measuring 9 kilometers in perimeter.
