>The city of Beijing has a long history dating back over 3,000 years.[11][12] Prior to the unification of China by the First Emperor in 221 BC, Beijing had been for centuries the capital of the ancient states of Ji and Yan. It was a provincial center in the earliest unified empires of China, Qin and Han.

>The region of Hong Kong has been inhabited since the Old Stone Age, later becoming part of the Chinese empire with its loose incorporation into the Qin dynasty (221–206 BC). Starting out as a farming fishing village and salt production site, it became an important free port and eventually a major international financial centre.
Righto then.

Augusta Treverorum, founded 16 B.C.

There's a lot of places that are far older. Fords where you would cross a river, old ports, spots where old traderoutes met. But unless they're mentioned in some record, they're pre-historic and can't well be dated. And recorded history in Germany started with the Romans in the south of the country.
I live where the Germans defeated the Romans in 9 A.D. The Romans never set foot there again, so my region's recorded history doesn't reach as far back.

It's the Roman name and the modern name for the same town.

Don't know, do know both Nijmegen and Maastricht existed in 50 BC. So one of those two.

The Netherlands is a bit ... lacking in historical documents from that long ago.

Cádiz was founded in 1100bc

I once visited a friend in Cologne, which was founded by the Romans in the time between 9 A.D. and 30 A.D. We had a party in the cellar, and it was actually a low-ceilinged vaulted cellar from Roman times.

Ribe - founded ~704 AD.

Looks nice, but 0 BC or AD?
