Villa Fulvia

Villa Fulvia is the site of an ancient Roman settlement, located near the capital, Koningstad.

History
VIlla Fulvia was started in 276 by Roman settlers. It was a small town, with many small houses, and a large government building in the town center. Around 380, the settlement was abandoned by the Romans and largely forgotten. It is possible that a large storm destroyed the settlement or a frost destroyed the crops.

During one of Adrianus Graf's hunting expeditions in 1556, he came across the Roman settlement. He built himself a villa near the ruins, and soon it became the place to live for the wealthy merchants and noblemen. This was to become the city of Koningstad.
