An Amphitheatre was a structure built throughout the Roman empire where ordinary people could watch such spectacles as gladiator games, mock naval battles, wild animal hunts, and public executions. https://www.worldhistory.org/amphitheatre/ #History #Amphitheatre #Colosseum #Gladiator

If there was one thing the Roman people loved it was spectacle and the opportunity of escapism offered by weird and wonderful public shows which assaulted the senses and ratcheted up the emotions. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/635/roman-games-chariot-races--spectacle/ #History #Aedile #Amphitheatre #Chariot

For #RomanSiteSaturday this is the Roman Odeon on Kos. An odeon or odium can be thought of as a smaller scale amphitheatre that would originally have had a roof over it to improve acoustics for singing, its primary purpose as opposed to drama. This dates from the second century C.E.

Verona, situated on the river Adige in northern Italy, was a Roman town probably founded some time in the 2nd century BCE. It was a colonia by 69 CE and the impressive monuments which survive to this day attest to the city's importance. In late antiquity, the emperors Constantine I and Theodoric spent time in Verona, the latter building a palace, and today it is most famous for its magnificent ...https://www.worldhistory.org/Verona/ #Amphitheatre #UNESCO #Verona #History

Randomly found that #MosaicMonday is a thing while browsing for some #Archaeology (as you do) so I might try to remember this is a thing and join in on occasion. If you're ever on the Greek island of #Kos (as we were in 2020) and if you're near the 2nd century CE #Roman Odeon (a small #amphitheatre) in Kos town, then just off to one side, behind the rows of seating, there is a complete #mosaic floor to admire. And we did.

Female gladiators in ancient Rome – referred to by modern-day scholars as gladiatrix – may have been uncommon but they did exist. Evidence suggests that a number of women participated in the public games of Rome even though this practice was often criticized by Roman writers and attempts were made to regulate it through legislation.

For #AncientSiteSunday a fantastic aerial photo of the #amphitheatre in #Verona. Built around 30 AD, it held up to 30,000 spectators. It's one of the largest surviving #Roman amphitheatres and now used for opera performances.

For #RomanSiteSaturday this is the #amphitheatre at #Arles in #France. Built in 90CE this used to hold 20000 spectators who watched hand-to-hand combat and is still used today for equally barbaric bullfighting. The lower tier of arcades use wholly #Roman #architecture techniques while the top tier borrows from the #Greek for strength. The tower is a #medieval fortification addition.
#VanGogh, who lived nearby, painted Les Arènes based on a visit here.
