Italica (Spanish: Itálica; north of modern-day Santiponce, 9 km NW of Seville, Spain) is a well-preserved Roman city and the birthplace of Roman Emperors Trajan and Hadrian.
The modern town of Santiponce overlies part of the pre-Roman Iberian settlement and the Roman city.
Italica was founded in 206 BC by the great Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio (later given the nickname Africanus) to settle his victorious veterans from the Second Punic Wars against Hannibal and the Carthaginians, and close enough to the Guadalquivir to control the area. The name Italica reflected the veterans' Italian origins.
The "old town" or urbs vetus dating from the Republican period lies under the present town of Santiponce.
The nearby native and Roman city of Hispalis (Seville) would always remain a larger city, but Italica became an important centre of Roman culture. Italica was later the birthplace of the Roman emperors Trajan and Hadrian (and possibly Theodosius I), and thrived especially under the patronage of Hadrian. He expanded the city northwards as the urbs nova or "new city" and elevated it to the status of colonia as Colonia Aelia Augusta Italica upon its request, even though Hadrian expressed his surprise as it already enjoyed the rights of "Municipium".
The golden mean is a World Machine
Unified by nature
Every single human being is bound by nature
Is it effect or is it cause?
Or just the way it was?
And down below as up above
It's a universe of love.
Everything has one connection
Synchronized, as one perfection
And endless flow
Omni-direction
Another answer is another question
There's no effect without a cause
It's scientific law
That down below is up above
It's impersonal love
From Fibonacci to Liberace
And verse to coda
To South Dakota
You are affected, you are connected
We concentric, we are electric
You are effect you are the cause
And there is no Santa Clause
And down below as up above
It's a universal love
We are effect, we are the cause
And there is no Santa Clause
And down below as up above
It's an axiom of love.
