The Ancient Greece- Amphitheatre

Very large to accommodate large number of people on stage and the audience. Around 14,000 people in the audience. The name amphitheatre (alternatively amphitheatre) is given to a public building of the classical period (being particularly associated with ancient Rome) which was used for spectator sports, games and displays. The important distinction between an amphitheatre and a theatre is that an amphitheatre is round or oval in shape (whereas a theatre is semi-circular). However, an amphitheatre differs from a circus, which was used for racing.
