Aquis Querquennis

... that the Roman fort Aquis Querquennis (remains pictured) periodically emerges from a reservoir? Source: "Durante una parte del año el yacimiento, un Bien de Interés Cultural desde 2018, no puede ser visitado. Cuando sube el nivel de agua del embalse los restos arqueológicos quedan inundados. Con la sequía ha bajado la presa y los restos del asentamiento son más visibles." which Google Translate renders as "During part of the year the site, a Site of Cultural Interest since 2018 , cannot be visited. When the water level of the reservoir rises, the archaeological remains are flooded . With the drought the dam has lowered and the remains of the settlement are more visible." from: "El campamento romano Aquis Querquennis, a vista de dron junto a un embalse semivacío". Faro de Vigo (in Spanish). 10 August 2022. Retrieved 16 August 2022.

What does Aquis Querquennis mean?[edit]

Some explanation for the name of the fort would be helpful, especially for those of us who don't read Latin. :) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:27, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
