Amphitheater Schedule

Did You Know?

In the Roman Empire, amphitheatres were nearly round, or oval in shape (the name suggests that they were thought of as resembling two theatres joined together, hence the name "amphi"-theatre), forming a complete near-circle or ellipse, and were used for spectator sports, games and displays.This is in contrast to a Greek or Roman classical theatre, which was semicircular and used for theatrical performances (but also for gladiators in areas where amphitheatres were not available).

The term amphitheatre can also be used to describe naturally occurring formations which would be ideal for this purpose, even if no theatre has been constructed there.

The remains of some 230 amphitheatres have been located in widely scattered areas of the Roman Empire.(See:List of Roman amphitheatres), Hollywood, California.

Special events and games were held in ancient Roman amphitheatres, such as the gladiator games.The term derives from the ancient Greek amphi-, meaning "around", or "on both sides" and th�ātron, meaning "place for viewing".

Being particularly associated with ancient Rome, amphitheatres were used for various types of public spectacles.

There are many famous examples from the Roman Classical period.
