Aerial views of roman ruins of a Roman amphitheater, Italica, Seville Province, Andalusia, Spain. Italica's amphitheater was the third largest in the Roman Empire at the time, seating 25,000 people, roughly half the capacity of the Colosseum in Rome. The size is surprising given that the city's population at the time is estimated to be only 8,000, and shows that the local elite demonstrated a status that extended far beyond Itálica through the games and theatrical performances they financed. as magistrates and civil servants. From the same period is the luxurious annexed quarter with several ostentatious villas decorated with splendid mosaics that are still visible today. The House of the Birds was the first house excavated in its entirety in Itálica. This aristocratic villa offers a series of precious mosaics of excellent quality, the true treasure of this ancient city. The Itálica amphitheater has also served as a set for the seventh season of the famous Game of Thrones series
