The largest amphitheatre of the ancient world: opened in AD 80 under Titus, seating up to 50,000 spectators for gladiator fights and beast hunts. An ellipse 189 by 156 metres, with the hypogeum — a labyrinth of underground tunnels beneath the arena that lifted scenery and animal cages. Go early morning and book ahead: entry is by timed slots.
