TheCaptain visited on 30th Jul 2025 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Think this is my first time actually in to the amphitheatre for a proper look around having only seen from outside the fencing before. It's magnificent, with big entrances for the participants, small entrances with steps up to the terracing for the audience, and the "royal box" for the important bloke who made life or death decisions.
At one side is the "royal box" for the important sponsor (editor) who funded the events and made the life or death decisions as necessary. Beneath this is a shrine to the godess Nemesis.
