List of Roman amphitheatres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The remains of some 90 amphitheatres have been located in widely scattered areas of the Roman Empire. These are fully circular, and are not to be confused with the more common "ordinary" theatres, which are semicircular structures. Following is a list of Roman amphitheatre locations by country.
