1 The Valcamonica Community in the Roman Period After the Roman conquest, the valley population was at first organized as a civitas which was administratively dependent upon nearby Brescia. During the 1st century AD, however, the independent res publica Camunnorum was created and the inhabitants were granted full Roman citizenship.
