A colour portrait aspect photograph of a stone doorway, with large posts but the lintel missing. The ground slopes upwards away from the camera, through the doorway, reaching a short wooden staircase to a higher level beyond. There are bare trees in the background, and a grey sky.
Looking out from the arena into one of the two entrances in the excavated part of #Chester #amphitheatre.
Doorways prompt thoughts of those who passed through before like few other features.

A large grassy bowl on a sunny day. Two small figures at the bottom suggest the scale of the earthworks.
The #amphitheatre at #Cirencester, (Corinium Dobunnorum). Built in the 2nd century on the site of a quarry, estimated to have held up to 8,000 people. Even after 1,500+ years of erosion (since it was abandoned), the earthworks are monumental.

Illustration of the Trimontium amphitheatre as it would have looked like.
For #WorldTheatreDay we present perhaps the most northerly #amphitheatre found (confirmed) to date in the #Roman Empire - #Trimontium! The #amphitheatre would have been a space for parade, tournaments & games. Today all that remains is a dip in the landscape.

#RomanFortThursday | Micia
The fort and pagus of Micia, in modern-day #Romania, was built in early 2nd century AD during the #Roman conquest of #Dacia. At its peak, it housed over 6000 soldiers and civilians. Micia had artisan workshops, baths, two necropolises and even an #amphitheatre.
At #Charterhouse there was also some kind of 'fortlet' here in the 1st century, and potentially an #amphitheatre. In a small settlement serving the #mines 2/2.

1. Below ground was the holding area for gladiators, the condemned, animals.
2. On the arena floor, death was performance art.
3. In the seats the crowd cheered cruelty that was also entertainment.

A look into the Roman amphitheatre in Sutri which was built in the 1st century AD. A red cat is strolling along the 2000 year old walkway.
The Roman amphitheatre of Sutri in Italy was not built up with building stones but was excavated from the tuff rock in the 1st century AD.

#Silchester #amphitheatre looking through one of the entrances. A stone revetment wall contained the seating banks which were probably fitted with wooden seats. The visible remains belong to the early 3rdC AD but at least 2 predecessors lie underneath. #RomanBritain #Archaeology

Harry’s at #Carmarthen! 🐎 Founded c. AD 75, #Moridunum became the Demetae civitas with shops, workshops & a Romano-Celtic temple. He loves the #amphitheatre 🏟️ — the only one in #Wales! Legends of #Arthurian fame linger: Fort Vortigern, Merlin’s Hill & a cave said to hold the wizard himself. 🐎📜
