Ever been to a Roman Amphitheater? - Parc Asterix (Plailly/FR)
Ever been to a Roman Amphitheater?.
.
Everyone knows the Flavian Amphitheater (Amphitheater Flavium), better known as the Colosseum, built in the 1st century AD. in Rome, it was the largest amphitheater in the Roman Empire and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is almost unreal to see a nice smaller replica of such a Roman theater here in this park.
Huge Roman shields adorn the large arena which is now used as a theatre. It is strongly reminiscent of a Roman Amphitheater as it was designed and built. Realize that the facade seen from the outside is three times as high and 10 times as impressive for a child. A small Roman guard post outside supervises this structure, entirely in the same Roman style and also at a great height.
Photo May 2023, Parc Astérix (April 30, 1989) after 34 years in time.
