Nearly 2,000 years ago, people came here to be entertained.
Today I got to stand in the middle of the amphitheatre at Italica.
I’ve died on stage a few times over the years, but thankfully I’ve never had to worry about the crowd throwing me to the lions.
And I certainly wouldn’t have wanted the cheap seats back then.
You may also recognise it from Game of Thrones where it was used as a dragon pit.
