Roman Amphitheatre of Rusellae

The stone amphitheatre features multiple entrance corridors and tiered seating arrangements designed according to classical Roman architectural principles.

Construction of the amphitheatre dates to the 1st century AD during a period of expansion in the ancient city of Rusellae.
