Barcino
Barcino was the Roman colony founded under Augustus around 15–10 BCE on the site of modern Barcelona, in north-eastern Spain. Its full name was Colonia Iulia Augusta Faventia Paterna Barcino, and it was a small walled town of the province of Hispania Tarraconensis on the low hill of Mons Taber near the coast. Its late Roman walls, columns of the temple of Augustus and other remains survive in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter.
