Roman City of Italica (Private Tour)

The Roman city of Itálica, located in the Lower Guadalquivir, played an important strategic role both politico-military, as well as economically, during the High Roman Empire. Proof of this is that it reached an area of approximately 52 hectares.

The origins of the Archaeological Ensemble of Itálica date back to 206 BC, when General Publius Cornelius Scipio, in the context of the Second Punic War, defeated the Carthaginians at the Battle of Ilipa and established a detachment of legionaries on the Cerro de San Antonio, place where a turdetana population already existed since the 4th century BC
Although at first both communities coexisted in this space close to the Guadalquivir, soon the Roman element imposed its social and political ways.
In the second half of the first century BC the city acquired the municipal statute and, eventually, during the government of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD), the colony, which is administratively equivalent to the metropolis. It was the birthplace of the emperors Trajan and Adriano, and point of origin of many of the senators of the time.
