Pamplona originated as a Vascones settlement called Iruna before Roman general Pompey established a military camp here circa 75 BC, naming it Pompaelo [1] [2]. Located on the Ab Asturica Burdigalam road, Roman Pompaelo was a civitas stipendiaria in the conventus of Caesaraugusta [2]. Recent excavations in Castle Square revealed Roman baths suggesting the city held greater importance than previously thought [1]. The oldest quarter, Navarreria, corresponds to the Roman city layout [2].
