🎧 Listen to Introduction
Colonia Augusta Emerita, now Merida, Extremadura, was founded in 25 BC at the end of the Spanish War as the capital of Lusitania. The well-preserved remains of the old city include a large bridge over the Guadiana River, an amphitheater, a theatre, a large hippodrome and an excellent water supply system. It is a good example of a provincial capital during the Roman Empire and later periods.
