The Romans were a very advanced civilization for the time, they were the first to create a sewage drainage system, basically the dirty water that generally came from the public baths passed through a tunnel that was built below the city and ended in a river or far from the city! what made the Romans a very clean culture, here in the city you can see how the city's sewage system is preserved!๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿšฟ๐Ÿšฝ
Los Romanos eran una civilizaciรณn muy avanzada para la รฉpoca fueron los primeros en crear un sistema de drenaje de aguas residuales, basicamente el agua sucia que generalmente provenia de los baรฑos publicos pasaban por un tunel que era construido por debajo de la ciudad y que desembocaba en un rio o lejos de la ciudad! lo que hizo a los Romanos una cultura muy limpia, aqui en la ciudad puedes ver como esta conservado el sistema de clocas de la ciudad!๐Ÿงฝ๐Ÿงผ

In the 7th century there is still evidence that the city was occupied by the Romans, we can still see constructions of structures dating from the Christian era until 693, even when Spain was under the Muslim empire, the city is mentioned in some writings! So we can see a great cultural exchange that Italica experienced for many generations!๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚
En el siglo VII aun se muestran evidencias que la ciudad fue ocupada por los romanos, aun podemos ver construcciones de estructuras que datan de la era Cristiana hasta el 693, aun mismo cuando Espaรฑa estuvo bajo el imperio musulmano la ciudad aparece citada en algunos escritos! Por lo que podemos ver un gran intercambio cultural que vivio Italica por muchas generaciones!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

That's how it is!! Italica was the first Roman city founded outside of Italy, after the war in Punica, Scipio left a troop to protect the conquered city which he called "italica" which comes from the name "Italy" the city was the home of Trajan and Hadrian who later became emperors of Rome! Only in 45 BC was it consecrated as a "municipium civium Romanorum" and became a military headquarters to a site that would house some Roman families!๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚
Asi es!! Italica fue la primera ciudad Romana fundada fuera de Italia, luego de la guerra Belica de punica, Escipion, dejo una tropa para resguardar la ciudad conquistada a la que llamara "italica" que proviene del nombre de "italia" la ciudad fue hogar de Trajano y Adriano que mas tarde serian emperadores de Roma! Solo en el 45 a.C fue consagrada como "municipium civium Romanorum" y paso a ser una cede militar a un sitio que albergaria algunas familias Romanas!๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿค—

In the 1st and 2nd century the city of Italica reached its highest level: (economic, social and cultural) of course in the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian. At the time the city was known as a Hispanic settlement. Many Roman families including the rulers could speak up to 3 different languages and it was normal since they had private education unlike the normal population!๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคฉ
En el siglo I y II la ciudad Italica alcanzaria su nivel mas alto: (economico, social y cultura) por supuesto en los reinados de Trajano y Adriano. En la epoca se conocia la ciudad como asento hispano Muchas familias Romanas incluyendo los gobernantes podian hablar hasta 3 lenguas diferentes y era normal ya que tenian educacion privada a diferencia de la poblacion normal!๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’ฅ

Italica is a city that has served to decipher many Roman customs and habits, for example here we can see well-preserved public latrines, basically the Romans had a public bathroom that was shared within the public bathroom, they did business, men could socialize, water I went to the sewers of the city, the Romans also had bath sponges available that they used when they defecated and, incredibly, it is said that they shared the sponges!๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿšฝ๐Ÿงฝ๐Ÿงผ๐Ÿงฝ๐Ÿšฟ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

If you look closely at one of the photos that I uploaded you can see a very luxurious and beautiful tile that is very well preserved and that the Romans called Opus Sectile, basically it is a tile used at the time that showed social status and wealth! This road was made for the most part with marble and with beautiful geometric decorations or it was decorated with animals, gods! the more figures an Opus Sectile had, the higher the cost!๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Not everything is as we think! or as they tell us in the movies! a gladiator before going to the arena made a contract which he decided if he was freed or how much money he was going to receive for combat! everything was arranged and organized! NEVER did a gladiator go to the arena to fight thinking that he would die! the thumb pointing up was victory and the finger pointing down indicated the winning gladiator to keep his sword DID NOT MEAN DEATH !!! it was a very lucrative sport and gladiator owners could not afford to lose their best fighters!
No todo es como pensamos! o como nos lo cuentan en las peliculas! un gladiador antes de ir a la arena realizaba un contrato el cual decidia si era libertado o cuanto dinero iba a recibir por combate! todo era arreglado y organizado! NUNCA un gladiador iba a la arena a combatir pensando que moriria! el dedo pulgar que seรฑalaba para arriba era victoria y el dedo para abajo indicaba al gladiador ganador guardar su espada NO SIGNIFICABA MUERTE!!! era un deporte que era muy lucrativo y los dueรฑos de los gladiadores no podian darse el lujo de perder sus mejores combatientes!

The amphitheater could hold more than 20,000 spectators who were classified according to their social status! not all sat together! the amphitheater had 2 entrances, one called "triumphalis" and it was where the victorious gladiator came out and another called "Libitinaria" and here the wounded or dead gladiators came out! before a gladiator go to combat PRAYED TO NEMESIS to get out of combat alive! generally gladiators fought against other gladiators or animals!๐Ÿค”

We can see a replica and another urinal! this is a tile which was created for gladiators to pay tribute to sibeles! The footprints had 2 meanings if someone died and they were dragging it, how do you think the footprints would be? down ... And if they were victorious the footprints would be the opposite! then when they prayed they touched or kissed the footprint of victory! It should be noted that the amphitheater had an infirmary to quickly heal the gladiators!๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ
Podemos ver una replica y otra orinal! esto es una baldosa la cual se creo para los gladiadores rendir tributo a sibeles! las huellas tenian 2 significados si alguien moria y lo llevaban arrastrando como crees que las huellas seria? hacia abajo...

How interesting! I've always wanted to visit an archaeological site, this region must be very rich in memories, here in Brazil, at least in the smaller cities to the south, we don't have a history like the regions you visited, but we still have beautiful stories from the past. It's funny to think that from the whole place only the bases of the constructions are left, I wonder if this is due to looting or the degradation of the weather itself. Thanks for the post! I'll be following you to follow more content!
