Whether through the art of theater inherited from the Greeks, the gore of blood sport in Roman-designed amphitheaters, or the adrenaline of the horse races at the circus, the Romans knew how to put on a show. Many features of Roman entertainment venue design persist today.<br><br>Join Romano-phile Bill Hunt as he discusses the role of entertainment infrastructure in Roman life, and learn more about the Colosseum in Rome, the theatres of Merida (Spain) and Orange (France), and remnants of hippodromes from across the Roman empire.
