The archaeological site of Los Mercados (Duratón, Sepúlveda, Segovia), the site of the Roman city of Confloenta, is located at the confluence of the Duratón River, a southern tributary of the Duero, and the Serrano River, at an average altitude of 980 meters, a few kilometers north of the Somosierra Pass, in the northern part of the Central System mountain range, now within the province of Segovia. The Roman city of Confloenta was one of the urban centers of the Duero Valley, integrated during the 1st century BC into the province of Hispania Citerior, and from the end of that century into the district of the Conventus Cluniensis of the province of Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis. The city is only mentioned in literary sources by Ptolemy (Geography 2.6.56). The city was founded at the beginning of the 1st century BC, after the Roman conquest of the Duratón valley, and developed until the Late Antique period, before being abandoned after the Muslim invasion of 711. Although referred to by some authors since the 16th century, and the identification of Confloenta with the site of Los Mercados de Duratón has been proposed, it is only since the beginning of the 21st century that the systematic exploration of the enclave is being undertaken, identifying it with the location of the city mentioned by Ptolemy, associated with a study of the development of this territory between Prehistory and the Middle Ages.
