Ancient Roman Forum Unearthed in Spain

A Spanish Farmer Long Believed a Roman Forum Once Stood on His Land. He’s Now Proven Right

Researchers have identified the Roman ruins in Ubrique as a large venue for public gathering.

In the late 1700s, Juan Vegazo, a farmer and amateur historian in Ubrique, in the southern Spanish province of Cadiz, had a grand theory: buried within the rock and dirt of a nearby hill lay the remains of an ancient Roman forum.

News from the excavations at Pompeii was reviving interest in Roman culture across Europe and inspired Vegazo to buy up the limestone hills and begin excavating. He uncovered inscriptions related to second century emperors, a name for the city, Ocuri, and laid the foundations for future archaeologists to uncover defensive walls, baths, and a mausoleum.

Still, Vegazo’s vision of the past remained incomplete. Until now. More than 300 years on, Vegazo has been vindicated by a team of archaeologists from the University of Granada. In coordination with the town of Ubrique, researchers have uncovered architectural elements in Ocuri that point to a large, public forum that would have served as place of gathering, socializing, and speechmaking. The finding infers that Ocuri was larger and more significant than previously believed.

Key to the discovery is a 50-foot-long wall that is believed to have enclosed the Roman forum as well as architectural elements of large and public buildings. Among these buildings is a large ceremonial site, as offered by the discovery of a monumental altar, column shafts and bases, and statue pedestals. Researchers believe the site supported religious practices related to water that mixed Roman and local customs.

“The excavations outline a space that is crucial for understanding the arrival and consolidation of the Romans in the southern Iberian Peninsula, as well as their hybridization with the communities that had already settled in the area,” the University of Granada’s Department of Prehistory and Archaeology said in a statement.

With its strategic hilltop position, it’s long been believed that a settlement pre-dated the Romans with researchers suggesting the absorption was both physical and cultural. Researchers now believe the site was inhabited until the end of the 4th century C.E. based on coins that were discovered—in particular, one marked with a Christogram, which is among the earliest forms of Christian iconography and was deployed by Constantine I in 312 C.E.

This continued presence in the southern reaches of Hispania, as the territory was known following its annexation in 19 C.E., was partly due to the trade advantages it offered, as it connected the coast to the interior parts of the province. Along with showing Ocuri’s size, the discovery of North African goods, including ceramics, suggests a strong and enduring (through the late 3rd century at least) economic links across the peninsula.

Aside from Roman discoveries, researchers also found evidence of medieval defensive structures.

Presentación del proyecto "Ubricarte"

[waru-chan8]

Constantino and Jorge: bavo

Constantino: very good.

Jorge: thanks

Roberto: how good, how good.

Boris: Bravo, bravo

Roberto: good, no?

Boris: bravo, bravo

Roberto: good lord. Let's move there. We are going to ask to the team to slowly remove, first with an applause

Jorge: how hot

Roberto: to the Film Symphony Orchestra Thanks from the bottom of out heart. We have them on the 'Krypton' tour.

Jorge: Thank you very much

Roberto: Guau!

Constantino: Very good

Roberto: Constantino, you are the orchestra's director, but I mean we don't need to be very, very fussy, more over, we from the outside saw (him) doing well.

Constantino: Very good, he did very good.

Roberto: yes?

Constantino: there was a lot of complexity, a lot of instrument change, a lot of different rhythmics, and I think, I believe, a very high score needs to be given. It's very difficult

Jorge: the direct

Constantino: he doesn't know how to read a music sheet either,

Jorge: as always

Constantino: he doesn't know how to read music

Roberto: of course

Constantino: he had to learn the music sheet from memory, and I have to say, he has been an exemplar alumni. He has practice a lot, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat

Jorge: as a crack

Roberto: like the musicians

Jorge: What did you always said? Always with a smile

Constantino: always, always. Always with a smile.

Roberto: Constantino, thank you.

Constantino: to all of you

Roberto: We/I'll see you in the tour. Good luck.

Constantino: thank you

Roberto: you did sweat, right? You sweat a lot. Let's see.

Jorge: this jacket has heat (incorporated )

Juan: in a moment we asses, but we are seeing all the moviment when they are removing everything. And I think that Flo, who has a jury spirit, I think he wanted to say something, as he was there like protesting

Flo: no, so... I think the credit goes to the orchestra, who war caring. As they where carrying him, I think he (Jorge) pounded/bashed all the equipment. I didn't hear the song. Boris, don't be fake, you didn't aplaude.

Boris: I'm totally in disagreement. We are taking the spot light away from the true protagonist

Flo is telling Boris something about him only saying bravo. Sorry I can't really hear it

Boris: and I want to say something to you, for the first time in my life, I understood that music sheet, that I think is one of the worst the history of music.

Flo: what are you saying? Now the fault is for the music sheet

Boris: it's true

Flo: bloody hell, please

Boris: thanks to you I did understand what's all about, finally. You know? The film is much better than the music going with it. And even if the orchestra is wonderful, you where splendid showing us what the story is about Of course

Roberto: we where saying at the start of the show about the comradeship. Here it is the comradeship.

Juan: I think this discussion can be a good example for you to understand how difficult is to assest/score. Once said that, I have to say congratulations. I think that not even you believed that it was going to be like this, because it was nearly perfect. There's a moment

Jorge: I lost it (the rhythm)

Juan: in which Constantino add you telling 'that one (he uses a word that can describe a lot of the options, so I let it vague on purpose), but from then on, you where fantastic

Jorge: I gave my everything

Juan: congratulations. I agree that is one of the worst music sheets of the cinema history.

Boris: let's see...

Pilar: wait. What I saw here it's a recreation of the film

Jorge: did you see how they dressed me up?

Pilar: Constantino... You as Marty

Jorge: is exactly the same

Pilar: totally, Marty McFly, but Constantino was Doc and he was the one telling you what had to be done at each moment. Like 'the flux condensator, where it is? There, and then there and there' (I apology because Pilar seems to be doins a 'recreation' of an scene that could be different in English or any other language). There was a collaboration between the two,that without him you couldn't have done it. Well, that's why is an orchestra. To me it sounded very well

Flo: and if he didn't listed, it woud had sound better bcause Constantino did like this and the other (Jorge) did 'I don't care' (he meant that Jorge as not really following the directions given by Constantino).

Roberto: if you want, we can asses the music sheer later, but first lets go...

Flo keeps complaining and I only can hear the word song

Santiago: I love, I adore that soundtrack, I adore that music. In my opinion is one of the greatest march of the cinema history....

Jorge: and I messed it uo.

Santiago: no, that's why I'm saying. I was like 'If Jorge messes it up...' and he defended it pretty well. Thanks to Constantino or your effort and work during the week, very well.

Jorge: very good

Santiago: Congratulations

Roberto: Jesus, music expert, also percussionist expert (Waru's comment: he is not! He is the guest jury. He is a bullfighter who was a contestant in one of the previous season. He jut did a music related challenge. He is not competing/returning this season).

Jesús: after seen so many instruments, I was 'what is going to do this champion' (Waru's comment: champion in Spanish can be used to refer to another person who does an heroic act. He means it like that as Jesús hate the memory related challenges) you know? But I think he did pretty well, and I loved that rhythm of velocity, how did he break at the kerbs, from there to here... You did your best version, no?

Roberto: totally. Well, Jorge Lorenzo,

Jorge: Gracias

Roberto: congratulations, congratulations (he uses 2 different words in Spanish that translates the same in English). You can go and sit with your comrades

Jorge: well well

Laura: good

Boris: you were splendid

Roberto: well this is like this....
