The developed zone of the Roman municipium could be relatively precisely localized, and the development of the high mediaeval city (its location, extent and in parts even its street system), with its kernel, the monastery of St. Hippolytus founded in 790 A.D., could be clarified as being heavily influenced by the Roman settlement.
The attack of the Marcomanni bestowed upon the municipium a thorough destruction through fire (in spring of 170 A.D.?), while in the late Severan period it appears once again to have suffered a catastrophic fate (at enemy hands?).
In addition, questions of cultural history, having to do with daily life and craft work in the municipium, as well as regional and transregional trade relationships, are in the foreground.

The status of Saguntum as a municipium was relatively unusual, as this title was usually reserved for Italian (Latin-speaking) communities that had been conquered by Rome after the collapse of the Latin League.
This status was rarely given to provinces of the north (such as those in Spain) or to the Greek-speaking provinces of the east.
The Roman presence in Saguntum began in the 2nd century B.C. when a settlement of veterans was established, increasing the size and importance of the town, which had previously been inhabited by native Spaniards.

 Towns in Germania Inferior: Atuatuca (Tongeren)
It is true that in the second century CE, many Roman towns north of the Alps start calling themselves municipia, and this has often been interpreted as some sort of special status that signified the town's successful romanization.
The easiest explanation for the rise of the name municipium is that the word had no technical meaning, but was recognized as ancient.
The Municipium Tungrorum was, therefore, linguistically part of the Roman world.
