A talk by Peter Kingdon Booker
Balsa Was Tavira a Roman town? Or is it even older? Why is the old bridge called The Roman Bridge? Is it really that old? Peter Booker addresses the history of this ancient town, and uncovers the surprising moves made by the town itself and he exposes the history of The Roman Bridge. Why was the Roman Empire interested in this part of Iberia? He also examines the town of Balsa, and seeks to put it in its proper place in the context of Roman Iberia, discussing the local languages, the politics and the economics of Hispania Lusitania.
