Avella Roman amphitheatre, Roman amphitheatre in Avella, Italy
The amphitheatre features concrete walls and a circular design with raised seating areas that could accommodate 10,000 spectators during ancient Roman events.
Built in the 2nd century BC following destruction during the Social War, this structure represents the transformation of Abella from Samnite to Roman control.
The amphitheatre stands as evidence of Roman entertainment practices, where citizens gathered for theatrical performances and gladiatorial competitions in ancient times.
