Greek and Roman Amphitheaters (An Overview)

Abstract

This research aims to provide a general idea about Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman amphitheaters through a practical study conducted on a group of amphitheaters found in social media platforms. The study sheds light on the types of amphitheaters, their tools and materials, and manufacturing methods during the Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman eras at the Cyrene Museum. We followed the historical descriptive-analytical method, where the historical method identified the time period in which amphitheaters appeared in Greece and Rome. The archaeological descriptive method described the shape of the amphitheatres, the symbols, and the images on their surface, while the analytical method analyzed the signs, images, and opinions reached by previous researchers in this field.
