Una nueva hipótesis sobre la localización del anfiteatro de Caesaraugusta (Zaragoza, España)

This article presents a new hypothesis about the location of Caesaraugusta amphitheatre. Recently, the possible location of the amphitheatre has reappeared as a matter of discussion, since the Provincial Museum of Zaragoza has resumed the old hypothesis which states that part of the structure of this building is located on the lots currently occupied by the Hotel Palafox and the old Fleta Theatre. Unfortunately, the documentation currently available does not reveal the presence of these structures in a particular place in the city. However, following the revision of documentation topographic and geophysical spatial analysis, this interdisciplinary group at the University of Zaragoza proposes a new hypothesis about the location of the amphitheatre, which is not intended to be a new option in the scientific debate on characterization of Caesaraugusta urban core. However, we expect that the data provided along these lines and through future actions on the archaeological levels in the area will confirm the initial hypothesis.
