List of Roman amphitheatres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The remains of at least 220 amphitheatres have been located in widely scattered areas of the Roman Empire. These are usually oval, and are not to be confused with the more common "ordinary" theatres, which are semicircular structures. There are, however, a number of buildings that have had a combined use as both theatre and amphitheatre, particularly in western Europe. Following is a list of Roman amphitheatre locations by country.
