Whether by night
or by day,
these ancient gates
are stilll impressive
even if they are
2000 years old.
These gates are much prettier from the front...
...than from the back.
Not all roads lead to Rome
but this one leads to the Roman arena.
Built in the 1st century...
this arena is extremely well preserved.
It has been used as an opera theater since 1913,
but in the past has been used for entertainment such as
gladiator battles, medieval executions, jousts,
circus performances and dances.
Augustus, the emperor, commanded from this box
before crowds of up to 25,000 people.
