🚙🚩🧭A LITTLE ABOUT THE SITE/ UN POCO SOBRE EL SITIO👨🏫👨🎓
To visit the site travel about 150 km from the border of Portugal to Spain, the city Italica was founded in 206 BC in the province of Andalusia! In the era of Roman rule it was a very important city and there are many evidences that show occupation of Roman families of a high social status! with many luxuries such as thermal showers! also the city of Italica includes a building that served as a temple!🤩🤩👸👸👳♂️🧔🕵️♀️🕵️♀️🕵️♀️🕵️♀️

🚙🚩🧭SEWER SYSTEM/ SISTEMA DE CLOACAS👨🏫👨🎓
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!🤩🛁🚿🚽
Los Romanos eran una civilización muy avanzada para la época fueron los primeros en crear un sistema de drenaje de aguas residuales, basicamente el agua sucia que generalmente provenia de los baños 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!🧽🧼
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!🤩🤩🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
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 España 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!😏😏
🚙🚩🧭THE FIRST CITY FOUNDED/ LA PRIMERA CIUDAD FUNDADA👨🏫👨🎓
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!🙂🙂
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!🤩🤗
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!🤔🤩
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!💖💥
🚙🚩🧭COLLECTIVE LETRINE/ LETRINA COLECTIVA👨🏫👨🎓
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!💥💥🚽🧽🧼🧽🚿🛁😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

🚙🚩🧭OPUS SECTILE/ OPUS SECTILE👨🏫👨🎓
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!😎😎🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

🚙🚩🧭A BEAUTIFUL YARD/ UN LINDO PATIO👨🏫👨🎓
This area was a little restored and decorated according to the city plan for us to have an idea of what the main courtyard of the city was like, we can see many marble pillars that supported beautiful brick structures! This is how one of the main Roman building materials was bricks! cave highlight were built in the same city! They also highlight the decoration of animals such as birds that were created with ceramics piece by piece manually!👨🏫👨🏫👨🎓

🚙🚩🧭PLANETARY/ PLANETARIO👨🏫👨🎓
This area is spectacular and without a doubt it shows us a little about the organization, culture and Roman belief, here very well preserved we see the main gods of the Romans! and that each one was also desigando as a day of the week! here the calendar was basically reflected! for example we see the sun, the moon and Mars as days of the week corresponding to Sunday, Monday and Tuesday! the sun was also the star of supremacy!😍😍

🚙🚩🧭AMPHITHEATER/ ANFITEATRO👨🏫👨🎓
And we arrived at my favorite part is the great amphitheater, it was the most important structure in italica and of course many cultural activities were held here such as chariot racing, small boat sailing! theaters! AND THE BLOODY COMBATS OF GLADIATORS!🤩🤩
Y llegamos a mi parte preferida es el gran anfiteatro, era la estructura mas importante de italica y por supuesto aqui se llevaron a cabo muchas actividades culturales como competencia de carreras a carrosa, navegacion de barcos pequeños! teatros! Y LOS COMBATES SANGRIENTOS DE GLADIADORES!💪
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 señalaba 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 dueños 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!🤔
El anfiteatro podia albergar mas de 20.000 espectadores que estaban clasificados segun su estatus social! no todos se sentaban juntos! el anfiteatro poseia 2 entradas una llamada "triumphalis" y era por donde salia el gladiador victorioso y otra llamada "Libitinaria" y por aqui salian los gladiadores heridos o muertos! antes de un gladiador ir a combate REZABA A NEMESIS para salir con vida del combate! generalmente los gladiadores luchaban contra otros gladiadores o animales!😮
🚙🚩🧭goddess cybele👨🏫👨🎓
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!🤩🤩
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... Y si salian victoriosos las huellas serian al contrario! entonces cuando rezaban tocaban o besaban la huella de la victoria! cabe destacar que el anfiteatro tenia una enfermeria para curar rapidamente a los gladiadores!🤔🤔
