Set on the Pipet hill, to the east of the forum, the amphitheatre, which could accommodate up to 12000 persons (9000 today), stretches over a 115 meter diameter north-south. The orchestra (central area) surrounded by four rows which formerly held up the marble seats with griffin feet, still shows some of its marble coating. A stone parapet separates this part, reserved for the elite, from two series of twelve and thirty rows, linked by two roofed corridors called "vomitoria". A terrace, decorated with a portico overlooks the whole.
