Amphitheatre in Pula; Studies on its Original Appearance in the Mid-1st Century BC

Attilio Krizmanić

Sažetak

This article brings forward new knowledge and research results including some basic information about the original appearance of the amphitheatre in Pula built in the mid-1st century BC. Although severely damaged through centuries, the structure is remarkably well preserved, allowing an authentic virtual reconstruction of its missing parts. The article points out its unique character as it was built at the time when wood replaced stone in the construction of amphitheatres. It is confirmed here by four projected towers with wooden staircases, wooden decks and a velarium, and some other spatial characteristics. Studying the amphitheatre’s integral appearance (1976-2016) has provided fresh insight into its original architectural features and details.
