Colonia Iulia Romula Hispalis (Seville) |
Unfortunately I don't know much about the history of this city during the roman time.
Settlement traces from the bell beaker culture are known. Following the Phoenicians, the Greeks and after them the Carthaginians settled here.
Around the year 205
BC the city was conquered by the Romans. The province Beatica - founded around the year 27
BC - was divided into four court parishes (conventus iuridici). These were
Gades (Cádiz), Colonia Patricia Corduba (Cordoba), Colonia Astigi (Écija) and Colonia Iulia Romula Hispalis (Seville).
The today visible remains of the roman Sevilla are
sparse. In the street los Mármoles are three columns of a temple of the forum. 4 more columns of this temple
are today in the Almeda de Hercules.
In the Avenida de Louis Montoto are some rests of arches from an aqueduct.
