Archaeological digs have uncovered the earthworks, revealing the outline of the construction, which is still visible, with the banking reaching 25 feet from the bottom of the arena. The arena itself is approximately 150 feet (46 m) by 135 feet (41 m). Roman artifacts, including coins and pottery, have been discovered on the site. It is estimated that it was constructed towards the beginning of the 2nd century. Unlike other amphitheaters, it is aligned in parallel to the streets of the town itself. plain 2016-09-29T19:02:15-07:00 Kelly Mueller d3b0d952cffe3f21edc6c5541645a2fc75bf2becThis page is referenced by:
