The great building, of about 90 x 60m, could
harbour more than four thousand spectators; it was built in the end of the
julio-claudian period, taking advantage of a natural canyon that surrounded
the city by the North.
Destroyed in the end of the III century or beginnings of IV century when
the late imperial wall was built, and used as source of materials, the amphitheatre
is one of the monuments in better state of conservation, because all the
inferior floor was conserved under the dumps of the demolition. It is nowadays
the subject of an investigation and presentation project.
