Italica

Italica (Spanish: Itálica) was a Roman town founded by Italic settlers in Hispania; its site is close to the town of Santiponce, part of the province of Seville in modern-day Spain. It was founded in 206 BC by Roman general Scipio as a settlement for his Italic veterans and named after them. As time progressed, Italica grew attracting new settlers from the Italian peninsula and also with the children of Roman soldiers and native women of Iberia. A branch of the Gens Ulpia from the Umbrian city of Tuder (the Ulpi Traiani) and a branch of the gens Aelia from the Picenian city of Hadria (the Aelii Hadriani) were either among the original founders of Italica or among the later Italic settlers that moved into the town (at any time between the third century BC and first century AD), as these were the respective stirpes of the Roman emperors Trajan and Hadrian, who were born in Italica. According to some authors, Italica was also the birthplace of Theodosius.
