A Roman settlement is a town, city, or outpost established by ancient Rome, typically featuring characteristic infrastructure like roads, baths, temples, and defensive walls.
Many modern European cities—London, Paris, Vienna—began as Roman settlements, and archaeological remains often underlie their streets: Excavations revealed a Roman settlement beneath the cathedral.
