The Cividate amphitheatre is of the type with a solid earth-filled base and does not have underpinning structures where service rooms could have been located or rooms beneath the arena floor. These were built in adjacent areas: of several rooms on the south side only one may be identified with certainty, as a shrine, whereas the function of the others is unknown. On the west side a portico was erected, connected to a bath house; these were perhaps part of the gladiators’ barracks or ludus, which was presumably situated just to the south. Other amphitheatres, such as those at Carnuntum and Aquincum, are organised in a similar fashion. |
