Casinum Amphitheater

The amphitheater was constructed in the latter half of the 1st century CE. An inscription records that it was constructed, along with a temple, by Ummidia Quadratilla (the very same patron of the theater) with her own money for the citizens of Casinum. The temple which is referred to in the inscription has not yet been found. The amphitheater was located outside the walls of the city, built abutting the slopes of Monte Cassino. The amphitheater is estimated to have had a capacity of about 4,500 spectators. (Rob@roamintheempire.com)
