Ovilava

settlement · 30 BC – 2100 AD

A Celtic and subsequent Roman settlement at an important road junction and river crossing (modern Wels in Austria). The core of the ancient town, which evidently grew to significant size in the Roman period, is covered by the modern settlement and has only been selectively excavated.
