 Amphitheatre by Helga67
Its western half held the imperial box and seats reserved for highranking civil servants. Its main entrances, to the north and south, had originally been provided with magnificent facades with ample space for three passages and vaulted entrances. On its western ide, two smaller doors led upwards and to the tiers.
The arena had room for roughly 20000 spectators. In the 4th and 5th centuries the Amphitheatre was at the same time a town gateway, so that the north entrance lay inside and the south entrance outside the town walls. The gate structures and the remaining walls were used for quarrying in the Middle Ages and also later on. Leave a Comment

The Mosel River runs through one of Europe's most beautiful valleys, which you can traverse in a day. The Mosel Valley offers many picturesque towns, forests, and wineries to explore and enjoy. Because it is easily traversed and is populated with many villages tucked into the low green hills, the Mosel Valley is a wonderful place to take a serendipitous journey, wherever you wants to go.

 Drawing of the Amphitheater
out of the brochure. by Jerelis
Because of its size the Amphitheater (amphitheatre) of Trier is ranking on the 10th place among all worldwide existing amphitheatres. We concluded that this former place of entertainment for the inhabitants of Trier (so called 'Treverer') - the venue of bloody battles and games between gladiators and animals - invites people to learn more about the Roman life. Even today the Amphitheater of Trier has a social function for the city as it is used for the Antiquity Festival and open-air concerts.

 Inside the amphitheater of
Trier. by Jerelis
Now that we know where it is we can say that the Amphitheater, on the outskirts of the modern, as well as the Roman town, was built into the very slope of the Petrisberg, not far away from the Weinlehrpfad. The Amphitheater was built about 100 AD richly decorated during the following centuries.

So, we found the Amphitheater (amphitheatre) of Trier on the outskirts of the city. Right here we found something different from what we usually think of when we imagine a Roman amphitheatre; for the builders at Trier utilized the side of a hill, and rather steep hill at that, using the slope for seats on one side and grading up the dirt taken from the arena area to make an embankment for seats on the side towards the city. So, the result was an theater seating of about 20,000, quite an amazing size!
Today almost all of its onaments masonry has gone, there being only a few tunnels left. Yet the whole is well planted in grass and neatly kept. And what was of more interest to us, the underground area has been excavated and reroofed, so that we went beneath the arena floor and, amid the darkness and the rain water which had drained in, realize the true conditions in which the victims of the contests were kept. In this vast basement we felt the fear of the gladiators, criminals and exotic beast that were kept her prior to their release into the arena.
