Flavian Amphitheater is one of two Roman Amphitheaters in Pozzuoli, built in the second half of I century a.D.
The Amphitheater of Pozzuoli, built in the first century a.D. by the same architects and with the same materials of Colosseum, is the third in size in Italy, after that in Capua. Thanks to the preservation of the undergrounds, only in Pozzuoli is possible to understand the complicated organization that was behind the performances, which occurred in the beautiful arena. An interesting inscription was found: Colonia Flavia Augusta / Puteolana Pecunia Sua, specifying that the financing of the masterpiece was totally charged to the citizens of Pozzuoli. This highlights the great opulence of the ancient Pozzuoli.
