Underneath the Flavian Amphitheatre, Pozzuoli (2)

            The Anfiteatro Flavio Puteolano is the third largest Roman amphitheatre in Italy.  It was probably constructed in the reign of the emperors Vespasian and Titus, roughly 69AD – 81AD.  The arena could hold 40,000-50,000 spectators.
The caverns underneath have been very well preserved; the corridors, arches and parts of the mechanisms used by the Romans of the time to house and transport gladiators and wild animals to the arena can be seen clearly.
The basement is particularly evocative today, due to the play of shadows and lights that are also reflected on the mighty shafts of columns and capitals that in ancient times must have adorned the structure.  The column and capitals have been stored here since the early 20th century.
