Amphitheatres played an important role in Ancient Roman civilisation. Meaning 'theatre all round,' they were used for public events such as gladiatorial contests and public spectacles including executions, but not for chariot races or athletics, which were held in circuses and stadia, respectively.
230 Roman amphitheatres, in varying states repair, have been discovered throughout the former territories of the Empire. Here is a list of 10 of the most spectacular amphitheatres.
