Ruins of a Roman Amphitheater in Arles

At the height of the Roman Empire, the Romans build cities, aqueducts and bridges all through Provence.  They built a huge Colosseum in Arles, and just steps away, they built this amphitheater.  This is the entrance part that archaeologists are reconstructing.  I stood on the stage in the theater part where the seats are, and I clapped my hands.  The acoustics are perfect.  The early Romans were certainly magnificent engineers.
