This paper aims to revise the literary, epigraphical and archaeological evidence in order to identify the Roman towns in the current Comunidad de Madrid. It argues that Mantua was located in current Villamanta and that other civitatum capita might have been in La Dehesa de la Oliva (Patones), Collado Villalba or San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
