Acerca de los edificios de espectáculos en "Colonia Augusta Firma Astigi" (Écija, Sevilla)

Abstract

In these lines we presented a small contribution on the knowledge of the spectacles buildings of Astigi (Écija, Seville), developing models that can serve as hypotheses to contrast. Of the theater on which without a doubt the Colony had to count on, and for want of archaeological data, a new location is proposed, from the analysis of the present urban plan and to certain documentary evidences. For the circus a series of archaeological interventions made by our team has been reviewed in the North West sector of the city, exposing a first outline of its shape. Finally, on the amphitheatre we have taken the data provided by an archaeological intervention made by us in the surroundings of the bullring, which has allowed us to restitute the layout and façade of the building, as well as a chronological approach to the date of its construction.
