Hippodromes and Amphitheaters
By Vickie Chao |
|
1 The ancient Romans really liked to watch public games. To enjoy their pastimes comfortably, they erected numerous sports centers across the empire. All those sports centers were made of stone and concrete. Some, called hippodromes, were for horse and chariot races. Others, called amphitheaters, were for gladiator fights and venationes (combats between men and wild beasts.)
