Tarazona

Tarazona, known in antiquity as Turiaso, was an important Celtiberian and Roman settlement on the river Queiles in Aragon, Spain. The city played a strategic role in the Roman Empire, with archaeological remains including streets, walls, baths, and a forum found on both banks of the river. Notable discoveries include an agate bust of Emperor Augustus, now in the Zaragoza Museum. After Roman decline, the Visigoths renamed it Tirasona, and it became one of the most important fortresses of the Visigothic state in the 6th century.
