[edit] Location
This ancient people of Quaquerni (also it is said Quarquerni and Querquerni), is today good identified, by scholars, with the surroundings of the today Baños de Bande, after an examination of the Antoninus guide about the Roman ways (Aquis Querquernis is the third mansio or station, situated to 52 Roman miles from Braga, Portugal, in the Via XVIII, 18th way, between Braga to Astorga, or Bracara Augusta - Asturica Augusta, in Latin manner). The order of the first mansiones in Antoninus is:
- Bracara
- Salaniana, milia passum XXI..............21 miles
- Aquis Originis, milia passum XVIII........... 18 miles
- Aquis QUERQUERNIS, milia passum XIII..........13 miles
Baños de Bande is a small village in the SW today province of Orense, into the region of Galicia, Spain, very near of Northern Portugal. Closed to Baños de Bande are the ruines of a Roman encampment, excavated by Prof. Antonio Rodríguez Colmenero, of the Deusto University; this encampment is identified, by archaelogists, as the site of Aquis Querquernis. The rivers that flows here is the Limia (Galician and Spanish manner) or Lima (Portuguese manner). The river Tâmega is distant fron this zone. We could to admit that Cávado is a river of the Querquerni or Quaquerni, because the fountain of these river is not very distant from Baños de Bande.
To identify, exclusively, the Querquerni with Portugal is a great mistake.
The name of Galicia is the continuation from old Latin name Gallaecia, and even Gallaecia was a territory between river Douro and Biscay Gulf, in a South-Northern direction, it is Gallaecia was Northern Portugal plus Galicia (and, in his Eastern side, also parts of León, Zamora, and Asturias) - ip 213603030, 2007 May 4.
