Pozzuoli: Anfiteatro Puteolano a.k.a. Teatro Flavio

This is the third largest Roman Theater in Italy. Construction began in 70AD under the rule of Nero. It had a seating capacity of 40,000 and a large underground area to house caged animals and a lift system to bring them up to the arena.

The marble columns are scattered throughout the underground area


For Jessica this was like a trip to Disney Land. As a professional Stage Manager it must have been quite an experience to walk in such an historic place.
