Belgica

Belgica was a significant Roman province that roughly corresponds to present-day Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of northern France and the Netherlands. Established in the 1st century AD, it was inhabited by various tribes, including the Nervii and the Treveri. The province was important for trade and military strategy. Its capital was the city of Nieuwpoort. Belgica played a crucial role in the expansion of the Roman Empire and its culture. The region's historical significance continues to influence its identity today, as it reflects a blend of both ancient Roman and local traditions.
