The Roman Amphitheater


>Verona Amphitheater
One of the true hallmarks of every Roman city was the amphitheater. They were essential for the "games" that were used to entertain the populous. The wealth of a city was always evident in the size and quality of its amphitheater.

Elevators were a Roman invention that made the "games" ever more exciting as animal, gladiators and even fake volcanoes could be made to appear directly out the bowels of the very earth. The layout of the elevators is clearly evident in this amphitheater in Napoli.
