Built around 70BCE, this is the oldest know stone-built Roman Amphitheatre, and was capable of holding 12 thousand people.
Between 79 AD and the 1970s there was a bit of a gap in performances, then Pink Floyd played here in 1971, and Frank Sinatra in 1991.
The Temple of Saturn has eight surviving columns and was built in 42 BC. The older temple dated from 497 BC but the ruins are from 42 BC. Saturn was regarded as the god-king of Italy and every year at the end of December the Romans celebrated Saturn with the festival called Saturnalia. During the holidays the Romans couldn’t declare war or punish prisoners and the aristocrats would eat and drink with their slaves.
