Aquincum civil amphitheatre, Roman amphitheatre ruins in Óbuda, Hungary.

The Aquincum Civil Amphitheatre measures 86.5 meters in length and 75.5 meters in width, featuring an arena enclosed by a three-meter-high wall.

Constructed around 145 AD during Emperor Antoninus Pius reign, the amphitheatre underwent multiple renovations throughout the third century to maintain its structural integrity.

Stone benches placed on earthen slopes contained inscriptions of their owners' names, indicating a social hierarchy system within the Roman settlement of Aquincum.

The facility accommodated between 6,000 and 7,000 spectators who accessed the partially covered stands through an external ramp system.

A sanctuary near the western gate housed a statuette and inscribed altars dedicated to Nemesis, the goddess associated with amphitheatre competitions.
