Remembering a Roman city
Thursday, 13 November 2025
I’ve been reading articles about this and that, including various Roman villas, towns, and necropolises in Iberia…which reminded me of our trip to Iberia early this year.
Here’s a reconstructed porticoed ambulacrum (one corner) that would have surrounded a forum square (depression, left foreground). This is the southwest corner of the Roman forum at Empúries, in far northeast Spain. There was a major trading city here under the Greeks, later built much larger by the Romans.
