Origin of Amphitheaters

Amphitheater comes from the Greek words amphi which means "around" or "on both sides" and theatron which means "place for viewing".

The history of amphitheaters began in ancient Italy and includes the construction of large, open-air venues for entertainment. The earliest known amphitheater was built in Pompeii around 80 BC.
Ancient Greek theaters were semi-circular and built on hillsides.

Roman times to modern day amphiteaters

Roman amphitheaters were oval or circular, with tiered seating around a central performance space.
They were used for events like gladiator fights, mock naval battles, and animal hunts.
The largest amphitheaters could seat tens of thousands of people.
They were a focal point of Roman society and a lucrative entertainment business.

Modern-day amphitheaters are still in use today, hosting events like opera concerts and gladiator re-enactments.
The Arles Amphitheatre is still in use today for bullfighting and musical concerts.
