We propose a journey through time from our pages to different activities and places where you can learn about some aspects that we tell you with images, maps and texts in our magazines. This time it's time to talk about Roman shows.
With this first post of our particular "Archaeological Agenda", we invite you to visit some of the places of Roman culture in Spain where, as David Vivó i Codina tells us at No. 2 of Archeology and History, an audience was entertained who hesitated between considering its protagonists infamous or famous (don't miss this article on the world of entertainment in Rome and the social consideration of its protagonists:nothing to do with our Cristiano Ronaldo, Penelope Cruz or Pedro Almodóvar)
Here are some proposals for the summer:
- Merida Classical Theater Festival (July 1 to August 27). An essential for lovers of classical culture that is held every summer in the Roman Theater of the capital of Extremadura. Even though it started earlier this month, you still have a chance to see some of its features until August 27. You can also take the opportunity to see the Lusitania Romana exhibition, in whose organization the Festival participates.
- The Roman Theaters of Andalusia have also prepared a wide
programming of classic theater plays for this summer:Itálica, Baelo-Claudia and Málaga. Take a look at the schedule, some of the features are unique or will end soon.
- In the case of Sagunto, you can take advantage of the surroundings of its Roman theater to enjoy the cultural program, something more eclectic and with current works, that they have prepared for their XXXII Festival d'Estiu Sagunt a Escena.
- The Museum of the Roman Theater of Cartagena goes beyond its dramatic programming and has also organized different guided and even dramatized routes through Roman Cartagena (also at night).
- We also suggest that you visit the remains of circuses and amphitheaters that exist in different locations in our country, such as those in Mérida, Tarragona or Itálica (Seville).
Don't hesitate to propose other «archaeological» plans in comments, they will surely come in handy for our passionate readers of History!
