Tibur amphitheatre, Roman amphitheatre in Tivoli, Italy.
The oval amphitheatre spans 90 meters in length and 50 meters in width, with external walls featuring semi-columns along the radial structure.
Rediscovered in 1948 during street construction, the amphitheatre dates from the 2nd century BC, when M. Tullius Blesus funded its inauguration.
Ancient tombstones reveal that the amphitheatre hosted wild animal hunts and gladiatorial games, with M. Lurius Lucretianus sponsoring events in 184 BC.
The central arena measures 61 by 41 meters and includes a 2.20-meter-wide passageway with barrel vault construction visible above.
Archaeological excavations between 1991 and 1992 revealed medieval and Roman artifacts, including ceramic pieces now displayed in the Roman National Museum.
