Limes - Zugmantel amphitheatre - a photo on Flickriver

            In the village existed two small amphitheatres. One of them was situated here at the northern edge of the settlement. Today still visible is a circular earth round (48m), on which the wooden banks were placed, and an arena (24m), which had been lowered into the soil. The construction possessed two entrances.

Three finds point at gladiators and animal fights. A griffin's head made of bronze belonged to a gladiator's helmet. On a whetstone one can see a scene of two men fighting. Obviously someone engraved its impressions of a visit a the amphitheatre into the stone. An inscription on a terracotta pot gives a further reference. It probably belonged to the property of a "vestigiator", a beast hunter, whose booty was used for animal fights. The amphitheatres give an evidence, how Mediterranean culture had expanded up to the edge of the Roman Empire.
