Italica

Italica was founded in 206 B.C. by Scipio Africanus and became one of the most important cities within the Roman Empire. The reknowned Emperor Trajan was born here and visitors today can still see the ruins of the ampitheatre designed to hold 25,000 people, the third-largest theatre in all of the Empire. It is also possible to see a massive statue of Trajan, as well as remarkably well-preserved Roman streets and mosaic floors.
