A visit to the first Roman city outside of Italy and then a typical countryside bbq was the plan for the day. Italica, built for injured Roman soldiers, provided a good idea of Roman architecture and our guide that we brought with us had an endless supply of knowledge about Roman history and how it related to this site. We saw a quick video which did a nice job simulating how Italica would look in its prime. We also saw throughout the site mosaics and board games carved into the stones. The bbq was a cut of pork called preso iberica and it was truly delicious.
