The first contact between the Bracari and the Romans was in 138-136 BC, in the context of military expeditions.
Since then and up until the foundation of the city of Bracara Augusta (16-15 BC), this region lived peacefully which contributed to its development. The large increase in commerce brought about by its integration into the Roman Empire opened new opportunities for business and expansion.
We invite you to observe the locally produced ceramics and to notice how well they imitate the imported ones.
The abundance and quality of this region’s clay made the development of pottery making possible from then up until now.
