Amphitheatre, Pompeii, Italy
A detail of the Amphitheatre, on July 3, 2007, in Pompeii, Italy. The Amphitheatre, 1st century BC, is one of the earliest examples. Backing on to the city wall it is elliptical in shape, its seating capacity was 20,000. Here we see one of 6 staircases in the outer wall leading to the auditorium. Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake in 62AD and engulfed by Volcanic ash after a major eruption of Mount Vesuvius in August 79AD. It lay almost undisturbed until archaeologists started to excavate it seriously in the 18th century.
