Roman Amphitheatre, Alexandria

Alexandria, Egypt, is the heart of the Roman Culture and ancient Roman sites after the Reign of Alexander the Great who left  his mark on this great port City with many Roman sites and Artifacts still remaining there such as the Roman Amphitheatre. 
 

Location:

 

3 hour's drive from Cairo will get you to the Port City of Alexandria. The Roman Amphitheatre is in the area close to the Centre known as Kom El Dekka, which translated from Arabic means ‘ The hill of rubble’ or ‘The hill of benches’. 

 

History:

 
The elegant Roman Theatre has marble seating for seven to eight hundred, cruder galleries for the plebs, and a forecourt with two patches of mosaic flooring. In Byzantine times, gladiatorial games were superseded by chariot races. Along the northern side of the theatre’s portico are thirteen auditoria that might have been part of Alexandria’s ancient university, with an annual enrolment of five thousand students.
It is considered to be one of the most important archaeological sites of achievement as it was discovered by accident in 1960, when construction workers were clearing the site to construct a new building.
