    This stone amphitheatre creates a sense of belonging to the Roman world in a community, by allowing Games to be staged in a settlement. Although small in size, the fact that proper gladiatorial events can be staged here is an important part of making a settlement part of Rome. The locals can properly feel like Romans as a result, even if they have never visited the Eternal City. The amphitheatre also allows the local leaders to show off their wealth and curry political favour. A sponsor's social status can increase dramatically if the games are impressive, especially if he can link them to some worthy ancestor by throwing 'funerary' games. A small show featuring 80 gladiators fighting over three days - with suitable public feasting - can cost the accumulated fortune of an entire family.


    I think this one is smaller than the previous Urban Amphitheatre.
    All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

    Probably smaller...

    Perhaps the first level of the entertainment tree?

    and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill.

    This makes me wonder just how linear the building tree will be. i.e. will you tear down this ampitheater for a new and bigger one, or will you simply build a new and bigger one somewhere else? Will this thing have to be built in order to get a bigger ampitheater? And can you possibly build two ampitheaters in one city?

    And sometimes we fight and we run
