This thoroughly corrected, updated and enlarged edition illuminates
the epic story of the birth, early development, widespread
flourishing and slow decline of that most typical Roman monument,
the amphitheatre. This lucid and accessible work, lavishly
illustrated with plans and photographs, breaks new ground with the
incorporation of sociological, psychological, historical and even
ecological material into the study of the amphitheatre. This
edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, including a new
interpretation of the phasing of the Pompeii amphitheatre as well
as inclusion of the latest information on the other amphitheatres
in this monograph. This volume is a valuable reference work for
students and scholars of Roman history and architecture, and this
new updated edition will bring this topic to a new generation of
readers.
