A MUSEUM AND A CELTIBERIAN VILLAGE

In Soria, we went to a museum in Garray where there is a lot of local Celtiberian and Roman history.
In this photo you can see a battering ram they used to knock down fortress doors. 
This is a Roman military camp.
 
These figures are cute. 
 Then we went to Numancia where there is a village of Celtiberian origins. The Celtiberians fought against the Romans for 20 years before the Romans finally took the village. Then they built their own houses on top of the other one.
 This is a circular rainwater cistern for public use.
 These are hand querns used for milling the grain. They made beer from fermented wheat.
 This one is a Roman house. It has a roof of rye sheaves.
 These are looms for weaving cloth.
 These photos are of a Celtiberian house with a Celtic symbol on the door and the kitchen.
