Did anyone know Pula was built as a copy of Rome??

True, the Romans built the city as a copy of Rome:
-on seven hills, with the amphitheatre Arena which hosted gladiatorial contests in front of an audience of 20.000 spectators.
-the little Roman Theatre
-the Forum with the temple of August erected in 2BC.
-the remaining of the temple of Diane nowadays incorporated into the city hall -the Triumphant Arch of the Sergi erected in 2 BC.
-the Twin gates 
-the Gate of Hercules with the city walls.

Interesting, right?
