Going back to a passage from Marcial (40-104 bc), in his
work entitled "Puella Gaditanae" (girl from Cadiz)
and dedicated to Telethusa; this is described by the author
as 'master in the arts of adopting sensuous positions following
the rhythm of the castanets from Betica and swaying with
the Cadiz rhythms. This is an early proof of the inhabitants’
taste for rhythmic dances and music of this roman province.
