Castrense amphitheater.
Details presented on the Flavio amphitheater will give the most interesting clarifications, 1) on the means employed to overcome the difficulties encountered when it comes to preparing and cutting the stones intended to form the curve of the arches or vaults; 2) on the different orders of ancient architecture; 3) on the mode of fixing the bronze axes which supported the fabrics being used as cover; 4) and on the distribution and collocation of the steps which occupied in a way as easy as convenient, the inclined planes which were intended for them.
Other amphitheatres, called Naumachie, intended for combat at sea.
Naumachia of Augustus and Domitian.
The knowledge of these monuments is important, as much in relation to the construction as for the usefulness that the ancients derived from them, forming under their eyes, and by the simulacrum of naval battles, the youth destined for maritime service.
