The Roman Amphitheatre

By Katherine E. Welch

Katherine Welch critically analyzes the architectural evolution of the Roman amphitheatre. She traces its origins and dissemination under the Republic (3rd-1st c. BC), its monumentalization as a form under Augustus, and its canonization with the Colosseum (AD 80). The study further explores the amphitheatre's reception in the Greek East, highlighting regional divisions and responses to Roman rule.
