Menosgada

Western Europe

Menosgada, meaning town above the Main valley, was a Celtic settlement on the upper Main river in what is now Bavaria, Germany, recorded by the Greek geographer Ptolemy and probably located on the hill known today as the Staffelberg. Celts had settled the Staffelberg from the first millennium BC, expanding an early fortification around 200 BC into an oppidum of 49 hectares with substantial defenses, before the settlement was abandoned around 50 BC amid Roman expansion into the region.
