Italica
Italica is the ruins of an ancient Roman city near modern Santiponce, Spain, founded as a colonia in 206 BC and expanded in the Hadrianic period. The site preserves a large amphitheatre, a grid of streets, Roman houses with in situ mosaics, a monumental Traianeum precinct and remains of an aqueduct and cistern.

As it stood in AD 125
What Italica looked like in its prime.
Low stone and brick masonry rising as stepped seating around a large oval arena with a sunken central access corridor; exposed cut-stone and Roman brickwork, worn tufa and limestone surfaces, scattered column fragments and niches, pale mosaic floors set inside partly-excavated houses, open sky above low Mediterranean trees and a flat, dusty ground plane. Surviving marble column drums and colonnaded porticoes punctuate the nova urbs on its highest ridge.
