AMPHITHEATRE
Situated at about 100 meters from the northern side of the city wall, the amphitheatre is the most big construction. In it's elliptical shape, it is build on a high and leveled place, it is 88 m long and 69 m width. It's capacity crowd is about 5000 people.
The primary material witch it was build with is river rock and on other places canion rock and bricks. The date of the construction is not known precisely, but it's estimated that it was built in the first years after the roman conquer. Restoration works were done in 158, witch is proved by the date on the roof tiles that were found by the researchers.
The amphitheatre is composed from two parts: the arena with some parallel elliptic walls, perpendicularly crossed by some other wall, in ray shape. It had two main gates (east&west) witch were used by the gladiators to enter and exit, and another two gates with marble columns, for the workers.
In the middle of the arena there was a kind of sewer pipe, from witch was there able to get water.
After Dacia was abandoned, the building was used as a fort to defend against the attacks from the migrating people.
