☀️ The theater of Cartagena was discovered and excavated only 30 years ago. Altars, sculptures and dedicatory inscriptions of the theater were saved from destruction as it was first transformed into a macellum, and later buried under medieval and later constructions.

☀️ Close to Spain’s vital silver mines, Carthago Nova prospered throughout the mid to late Republic: the historian Polybius describing it as a magnificent capital resplendent in palaces, temples, and, of course, its all important harbour.

📜 The post about Carthago Nova was written for Timetravelrome by our long time friend & author Michel Gybels. It is dedicated to Molinete - the main archaeological area of the ancient city. 📸 Link 👉

☀️ Bibracte was the capital city of Aeudi celtic tribe. Established on the hilltop in the 3rd c. BC, it grew to almost 200 hectares of land, with a population of 30,000 by the middle of the 1st c. BC. The Aedui used to live in good terms with the Romans, but in 52 BC, Bibracte joined Vercingetorix' rebellion. The insurrection was put down by Julius Caesar, though he was merciful toward the city. Caesar spent a winter in Bibracte, enjoying spectacular views from the Bibracte hilltop. 📸 Own photos.
