Researchers from the University of Cádiz in Spain focused on settlements in the areas surrounding Arcos de la Frontera, Bornos, Villamartin and Puerto Serrano which would have all been interconnected by the Guadalete River, leading them to believe that they were part of a hidden empire.
The team said they used geo radar - a tool that sends radar pulses underground to detect any hidden objects.
They used geo radar technology to locate the wall structures from ancient residences that weren't visible from the surface...
The researchers discovered that the villa had walls separating the residential and work areas while they were trying to understand how and when the middle valley of the Guadalete was settled.
They were also able to investigate other sites for the first time since they were discovered in the 1980s and 1990s using multispectral cameras that capture image and colors that aren't typically visible to the naked eye...

The researchers said these findings could help them develop a better understanding of the Roman Empire's presence in the Guadalete River's valley more than 2,000 years ago.

One of the inscriptions: Imber in Hispania maxime in campo cadit. Hispaniam numquam fui sed musicam amo.
Seems like we don’t know a lot eh?
Damn, impressive, they even found a chariot from back then (although it looks more like a modern car - you know what they say “what goes around, come around”). For those planning to bury their ‘hardware’, don’t bet on it being very difficult to find.
Happy accidents are fun... bladder accidents are no fun.
Cool find!
I hear this whole darned hidden empire fell apart because everyone there lost bladder control at the same time. :^)
Not until someone looks for it.
The move from carts (oxcarts and whatnot) to the chariot (circa 4000 years ago) must have been like the leap from four-door hardtops to two-door convertibles.
Lol- what a piss poor way to go 😆
Appearance is that this was weekend property for families to enjoy fishing, swimming and other recreation.
Can imagine period structures equivilant to modern mobile homes on the site back then for use by Roman rednecks.
Probably happened during the reign of the Emperor Commodus...
But did they have elephants❓
I’m pretty sure that is where the hit song “Yellow River” by weepee freely originated.
Imagine what the orthodox world of archaeology is missing if a couple thousand-year-old city vanished beneath the soil.
Imagine what might be under water, if they actually acknowledged that civilization existed in more places than just what is now known as the Mediterranean Sea...
...and they weren’t just ‘hunter-gatherers’...
They did for a while, but the elephants kept stumbling over everything.
Why was it hidden?
And what could possibly go wrong?
Toga! Toga! Toga! ...
The white in photo spoils the shot dang.
