The Pompeii Amphitheatre
The amphitheatre at Pompeii is the earliest Roman amphitheatre still in existence, and like most buildings in Pompeii, one of the best preserved. It provided the inhabitants with a much in demand form of entertainment – gladiator games and animal hunts, the best a small coastal Roman town can offer. Guest: Dr Gillian Shepherd (Trendall Centre, La Trobe University).
