Cirencester Roman Amphitheatre
|
|
One of the largest Roman amphitheatre sites in Britain, with seating for over 8000 spectators. We do not know for certain what events took place in the amphitheatre, but records from elsewhere in the Roman Empire suggest that blood sports such as bear, dog, and bull baiting were common, as were public executions and gladiatorial contests.
