Ercavica was an important Roman City whose remains are visible today at the archaeological site [1]. It is situated on the hill of Santaver near Cañaveruelas in Spain [1]. The site of the Roman city of Ercávica is located on a promontory near the river Guadiela [1]. Ercávica is mentioned for the first time in connection with the campaign of 179 BC of Tiberius Gracchus on the lands of Celtiberians [1]. The Roman city was developed from the 2nd century BC with regular street plan, a city wall and public and private buildings [1]. The Forum, as the public and civic centre, is composed of a set of monumental buildings [1].
