Roman Amphitheatre II

The arena had four entrances, the main one being on the north side. There was a small room in the east entrance which had a narrow gateway to the arena, which could have been for holding wild beasts, perhaps with a box above it for holding officials. There was also a shrine, which is now in the Grosvenor Museum (a replica is in place), to the goddess Nemesis, with an altar dedicated by the centurion Sextus Marcianus. The walls were plastered and painted ochre to give a marbled effect, and sand would have covered the floor.
