Amphitheatre of Pompeii

On the next step, visit the Amphitheatre of Pompeii on the south-eastern side of the ruins. Built in 70 BC, the oldest Roman Amphitheatre could hold up to 20,000 spectators from Pompeii and nearby towns. The simplistic yet impressive design of grandiose construction, which would host chariot racing, gladiator fights, and animal hunts, set a model for more advanced amphitheaters throughout the Roman colony.
