Lecturer Trinidad Nogales Basarrate, curator and director of research at the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida, Spain, discusses the wealth of well-preserved buildings and monuments at one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire, Augusta Emerita (modern Mérida, Spain). Augusta Emerita was founded in 25 B.C. as the capital of the province of Lusitania and became one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire. Modern Mérida is home to more ancient Roman monuments than any other city in Spain, including a large bridge over the Guadiana River, an amphitheater, a theater, a vast circus, and an aqueduct system. Basarrate's lecture was presented in conjunction with the exhibition "The Aztec Pantheon and the Art of Empire" on view at the Getty Villa from March 24 through July 5, 2010.
