	Numantia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Numantia was a town in Hispania (modern-day Spain), which for a long time resisted conquest by Romans.
		The Arevaci were a Celtiberian tribe, formed by the mingling of Iberians and migrating Celts in the 6th century BC, who inhabited an area near Numantia and Uxama.
		For example, in 137 BC, 20,000 Romans surrendered to the Celtiberians of Numantia (population between 4,000-8,000).

		Here, on a small isolated high plateau in the middle of the valley, was the stronghold which played the principal part in a famous struggle between the conquering Romans and the native Spaniards during the years 154133 B.C. Numantia was especially concerned in the latter part of this war from 144 onwards.
		The result was regarded as a glorious victory, and in Roman literature the fall of Numantia was placed beside the fall of Carthage (149 B.C.).
		In truth, the maintenance in effective condition of so large a Roman force in so remote and difficult a region was in itself a real achievement and such as at that time no one but Scipio could have performed.

		Roach, it was Publius Cornelius Scipio, of the vast Scipian dynasty, who led such a vicious attack against the brave, strong Spaniards in the city of Numantia.
		It was he, Scipio, dressed in his signature fl woolen cloak, who watched in glee as hunger-stricken Numantians were forced to eat hides, then human bodies, the dead, the sick, and at last the weak.

	Siege of Numantia (from Scipio Africanus The Younger) -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia ...
		Scipio took with him to Spain a number of volunteers and a corps of 500 friends and dependents as a kind of bodyguard (an embryonic praetorian cohort): these were perhaps all the more necessary because his first task was to rediscipline the Roman troops in Spain, who were in a shocking state.
		His main objective was to reduce the Celtiberian capital, the hill town of Numantia, which could not be stormed but had to be blockaded and starved out.
		Around the town he built seven camps, linked by a strong wall (traces of these works still survive), and, with overwhelming forces after an eight-month siege, he finally forced the 4,000 besieged to capitulate (133).
