Ruins of the old Cathedral and of the Roman Theater of Cartagena (Spain).The Roman theater was built in times of the Emperor Augusto. In the 44 to. C. the city had been high to the range of Roman colony, under the title of Colony Vrbs Iulia Nova Carthago (C.V.I.N.C), and soon after, the emperor Augusto rushed to an ambitious romanization plan and urbanization of the city.
The city already had a great amphitheater, of republican time, and now the emperor endows it of a great forum and a theater of big dimensions.
The theater was dedicated to Lucio and Key Caesar, the youth's princes and grandsons of Octavio Augusto whose names appear in two big lintels of gray marble located on the accesses oriental and western of the theater. For this reason, it is known that it was built among the years 5 and 1 to. C.
