These warlike peoples presented fierce resistance to Roman domination: ten years of war and eight legions with their auxiliary troops —more than 50,000 soldiers in total— were needed to subdue the region. The Emperor himself moved to Segisama to supervise the campaign personally. The major fighting was completed in 19 BC although there were minor rebellions until 16 BC and the Romans had to station two legions (X Gemina and IIII Macedonica) there for seventy more years.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: #0000ff"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: #0000ff">Emerita Augusta was founded in 25 BC by P.
