Amphitheatre in Pula; Wastewater Disposal
Attilio Krizmanić
Abstract
Wastewater disposal and storage is a necessary measure in the process of clean water supply. It is possible to reconstruct the entire network of sewer and rainwater drainage systems of Pula’s Amphitheatre due to the preserved ditches and canals of various sizes below the first circular passageway. These findings allow a more precise location of the latrines on the level of the first and second passageways in the radial rooms below the auditorium. This article is written with the aim to finally prove that the sewage system of the Amphitheatre, in particular the black pits below the arena, were not used to accommodate either the gladiators or the beasts.
