Abstract

The primary goal of this study is to analyze the basic integral system of passageways for spectators of the Amphitheatre in Pula as well as the division of the auditorium into several seating sections reserved for different classes of citizens according to their social rank. This paper focuses on four staircase towers with summa cavea in ligneis with incorporated barrel-like cisterns with double crossed wooden staircases and three decks. They have neither been systematically explored so far nor graphically represented in order to show what they might have looked like in the period of their construction (mid-1st century B.C.).
