Roman amphitheatre of Albano Laziale

The Roman amphitheatre of Albano Laziale is a Roman amphitheatre located in Albano Laziale, Lazio.

The amphitheatre was built for the nearby Castra Albana, the fortress of the Legio II Parthica founded by the emperor Septimius Severus (193-211); however, the amphitheatre was built later than the fortress around the middle of the 3rd century.[1] Its capacity was at least 15,000[1] and its maximum length 113 m.[2]
