There is no Greek prototype of amphitheaters, which were primarily Roman and were built in many cities throughout the empire. More or less well-preserved examples are at Rome (see Colosseum ), Verona, and Capua in Italy; at N”mes and Arles in France; at Cirencester in England; and at sites in Sicily, Greece, and North Africa.
