Résumé
A comprehensive model of the subsurface water running is proposed for the Roman Theatre of I talica (SW Spain). Using data from rotator boreholes (8 to 20 m depth), some of them equipped with piezometers, we analyze the sedimentary filling (lithofacies, contacts, chronologies, archaeological record...) identifying different types of groundwater flow. Furthermore, we study the origin of the water and, finally, the water dynamic is evaluated from spring to summer of 201 1 , compared with daily rainfall of previous same seasons. I t is concluded that there are three different kinds of flows which can flood the orchestra area alternately along the annual cycle.
