Roman and Carthaginian gladiators duel for freedom in the celebration of the Roman Circus, the last great act of the Carthaginian and Roman celebrations, followed by the extinguishing of the sacred flame, thus closing the ten days of celebration of this 2019.
Hundreds of spectators backed into history witnessing the victory of Artorius the 'Athenian' in the portable bullring installed in the vicinity of the Festive Camp last Sunday, September 29.
He stripped himself of his slavery and left the arena as a free Roman man in his fight against the great Triátides the 'Macedonian' next to his legion of the 'Vigiles'.
The arrival at the battlefield of Scipio with his wife gave way to the surrender to the Gods of the deceased body of the Amazon queen set on fire on her altar as an offering.
The car races starred in the afternoon, where the team of Crasso and Daimon were winners in these games of the 'circus maximus', which began with the entry to the arena of six warriors who fought to the death on the backs of their horses.
This great show was attended by the second deputy mayor, Manuel Padín, along with the councilor of Festejos, Juan Pedro Torralba.
The events were moved to the Festive Camp, where the traditional quenching of the Sacred Fire on stage and fireworks concluded the events of the festivities after ten days of acts and performances from part of the history of Qart-Hadast and Carthage Nova in this 30th edition of Carthaginians and Romans.
The second deputy mayor, Manuel Padín, was accompanied at these end-of-party events by the mayor Juan Pedro Torralba, Irene Ruiz, Diego Ortega, Alejandra Gutiérrez and Cristina Pérez.
