Flavian Amphitheater Walking Tour in 4k
Take a walk through the underground passageways and over the arena floor of the Flavian Amphitheater in Pozzuoli, Italy. It is the third largest amphitheater in Italy, behind the Roman Colosseum and the Amphitheater in Capua. When it was excavated in the 19th century, archaeologists discovered that much of the Flavian Amphitheater's structure was still intact and it's underground extremely well preserved. This is due to being partially buried by ash and rubble from the eruption of the nearby Solfatara volcano. Pozzuoli is a small town west of Naples. It was once the main port for the Roman Empire. The apostle Paul landed there on his way up to Rome which is about 150 miles away. It is now famous for being the home town of Sophia Loren who's childhood home is right next to the Amphitheater.

Places to see in ( Pozzuoli - Italy ) Flavian Amphitheater
The Flavian Amphitheater, located in Pozzuoli, is the third largest Roman amphitheater in Italy. Only the Roman Colosseum and the Capuan Amphitheater are larger. It was likely built by the same architects who previously constructed the Roman Colosseum. The name Flavian Amphitheater is primarily associated with the Roman Colosseum.
It was begun under the reign of the emperor Vespasian and probably finished under the reign of his son Titus. The arena can hold up to 50,000 spectators. The interior is mostly intact and one can still see parts of gears which were used to lift cages up to the arena floor. In 305, the arena was the setting for the persecutions of the patron of Pozzuoli, Saint Proculus, and the patron saint of Naples, Saint Januarius. After surviving being thrown to the wild beasts in the arena, the two were beheaded at the nearby Solfatara.
The elliptical structure measures 147 x 117 meters (482 x 384 feet), with the arena floor measuring 72.22 x 42.33 meters (237 x 139 feet). The Flavian Amphitheater is the second of two Roman amphitheaters built in Pozzuoli. The smaller and older amphitheater (Anfiteatro minore) has been almost totally destroyed by the construction of the Rome to Naples railway line. Only a dozen arches of this earlier work still exist. This lesser amphitheater measured 130 x 95 meters (427 x 312 feet).
The site of the structure was chosen at the nearby crossing of roads from Naples, Capua and Cumae. It was abandoned when it was partially buried by eruptions from the Solfatara volcano. During the Middle Ages, the marble used on the exterior was stripped, but the interior was left alone and is perfectly preserved. Excavations of the site were performed 1839 to 1845, 1880 to 1882, and finally in 1947.

POZZUOLI ( Puteoli - Campania - Italy ) - ANFITEATRO FLAVIO -Flavian Amphitheatre-Roman amphitheater
L'Anfiteatro Flavio è uno dei due anfiteatri romani esistenti a Pozzuoli e risale alla seconda metà del I secolo d.C.. Venne realizzato per far fronte all'incremento demografico di Puteoli, che aveva reso inadatto il vecchio edificio adibito per spettacoli pubblici in età repubblicana. Secondo solo al Colosseo e all'anfiteatro Campano in quanto capacità di capienza, sorge in concomitanza della convergenza di due vie principali, la Via Domitiana e la via per Napoli . Oggi si trova a poche centinaia di metri dall'attuale linea di costa, nel centro di Pozzuoli, e dista pochi passi dalla fermata Pozzuoli della linea 2 della metropolitana di Napoli.

Flavian Amphitheatre, Puzzuoli, Italy
Flavian Amphitheatre, Puzzuoli, Italy
Hi, welcome to varshastravel360
Flavian Amphitheatre, Pozzuoli.
Pozzuoli is a small fishing village located on the west of Naples in Italy. This small town is a hidden gem of some Roman ruins and interesting geological activities.
Among the Roman ruins scattered around this area, the amphitheater is a prominent one. This is a third largest amphitheater. Due to volcanic activities, it was buried under volcanic ash and therefore is best preserved.
The structure is composed of three elements – underground columnar passages, arena and the staircases.
This is an underground area with columnar pillars. This is the best-preserved part of the theatre. Previously the entire structure was covered with marble but later on, people removed it and used it for some other constructions. This exposed the bricks inside.
Look at these beautiful columns. This might be the top piece of the columns with some carvings.
This is an arena where about 20,000 viewers can sit around the central stage.
These are the openings on the ground, from where cages were lifted up on the arena.
This is outside view of the theatre. The steps to enter in the viewing gallery.
I am not sure about these large earthen pots. If you know anything about them, please comment below.
Thanks for watching.
Keep traveling and bye bye from Varsha.

Places to see in ( Pozzuoli - Italy )
Pozzuoli is a city and comune of the Metropolitan City of Naples, in the Italian region of Campania. It is the main city of the Phlegrean Peninsula. Pozzuoli began as the Greek colony of Dicaearchia (Greek: Δικαιαρχία). The Roman colony was established in 194 BC, and took the name Puteoli which it has his roots from 'puteus', meaning well (also used by sibyls to predict the future) and 'osco fistulus' (cave). An alternative etymology of Puteoli from the Latin puteo (to stink), referring to the sulfuric smell in the area, most notably from Solfatara. This is because Pozzuoli lies in the center of the Campi Flegrei, a volcanic caldera.
Puteoli was the great emporium for the Alexandrian grain ships, and other ships from all over the Roman world. It also was the main hub for goods exported from Campania, including blown glass, mosaics, wrought iron, and marble. The Roman naval base at nearby Misenum housed the largest naval fleet in the ancient world. It was also the site of the Roman Dictator Sulla's country villa and the place where he died in 78 BC. The local volcanic sand, pozzolana (Latin: pulvis puteolanus, dust of Puteoli) formed the basis for the first effective concrete, as it reacted chemically with water. Instead of just evaporating slowly off, the water would turn this sand/lime mix into a mortar strong enough to bind lumps of aggregate into a load-bearing unit. This made possible the cupola of the Pantheon, which is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.
Since 1946 the town has been the home of the Accademia Aeronautica, the Italian Air Force Academy, which was first situated on the island of Nisida, then from 1962 on a purpose-built hilltop campus overlooking the bay. From August 1982 to December 1984 the city experienced hundreds of tremors and bradyseismic activity which reached a peak on October 4, 1983, damaging 8,000 buildings in the city center and dislocating 36,000 people, many permanently. The events raised the sea bottom by almost 2 m, and rendered the Bay of Pozzuoli too shallow for large craft.
Alot to see in ( Pozzuoli - Italy ) such as :
The Macellum of Pozzuoli, also known as the Temple of Serapis or serapeum, is considered the city's symbol. The temple was actually a marketplace. Its name derives from the misinterpretation of its function after a statue of the god Serapis was found in 1750 at this location. The Macellum includes three majestic columns in Cipollino marble, which show erosion from marine Lithophaga molluscs when, at an earlier time, the ground level was much lower due to Bradyseism, and sea-water could flow in.
Flavian Amphitheater (Amphitheatrum Flavium), the third largest Italian amphitheater after the Colosseum and the Capuan Amphitheater.
Solfatara (volcanic crater with active fumaroles)
Forum
Minor Amphitheater, very near to the Flavian one, its remains were absorbed by other buildings, but some arches can be seen by Via Solfatara and Via Vigna. It is crossed by metropolitan railway and the arena is still buried
Puteoli's Baths, so called Temple of Neptune, the remains of a big thermal complex now in Corso Terracciano which included also Dianae Nymphaeum, this last one partly hidden by buildings.
Villa Avellino, one of the few urban parks of Pozzuoli. It also shows several Roman ruins and water tanks. There is also a still working Roman face water fountain.
Rione Terra, the first settlement of Puteoli, originally Dicearkia in Greek. It is a multi-layered city with several Roman buildings; the most important one is the Temple of Augustus (today the Pozzuoli's Duomo)
Necropolis of the Via Puteolis Capuam, just under the bridge that leads outside the city near Via Solfatara
Necropolis of Via San Vito, near to Quarto
Necropolis of Via Celle, a rich complex of tombs and mausoleums, very near to an old Roman street track still used today (Via Cupa Cigliano)
Stadium of Antoninus Pius, a very similar stadium to the Domitian one in Rome, only partially unburied and partly collapsed (Via Campi Flegrei).
Sanctuary of San Gennaro (St. Januarius). With the Cathedral of Naples, it is one of the two places in which the alleged miracle of the liquefaction of the saint's blood occurs.
Lake Avernus, in which Virgil, in the 6th book of his Aeneid, placed the entrance to Hell.
Lake Lucrino, in the frazione of the same name.

Pozzuoli Amphitheatre Underground Vaults
Pozzuoli's Roman amphitheatre was the second the city posessed and the third largest in the Roman Empire. It lies in the upper part of the modern town a short walk from the Metro station which means it can be reached by train from Naples Garibaldi station in about 35-40 minutes. The entrance is badly signposted and you need to walk right round to the western side. The amphitheatre was built in the late 1st century under Vespasian. In late ancient and early medieval times it ws used for houses and large fragments of ancient architecture were taken in. The place is now used as a repository of architectural fragments excavated around the town. The building's most important features are its underground vaults, used to store animals, competitors and elevating equipment. From here the animals and competitors were raised to the arena floor.

The Oldest Colosseum Of History - Geographic History.
The Colosseum's original Latin name was Amphitheatrum Flavium, often anglicized as Flavian Amphitheater. The building was constructed by emperors of the Flavian dynasty, following the reign of Nero. This name is still used in modern English, but generally the structure is better known as the Colosseum. In antiquity, Romans may have referred to the Colosseum by the unofficial name Amphitheatrum Caesareum (with Caesareum an adjective pertaining to the title Caesar), but this name may have been strictly poetic as it was not exclusive to the Colosseum; Vespasian and Titus, builders of the Colosseum, also constructed an amphitheater of the same name in Puteoli (modern Pozzuoli).
