Aquincum Civil Amphitheatre is an ancient structure in Budapest, Hungary, the lesser of two located in Obuda. The other is the Aquincum Military Amphitheatre. It was built between 250 AD and 300 AD. South of the western gate is an inscription of the Greek goddess Nemesis also known as Rhamnousia/Rhamnusia.
The amphitheater was located beyond the northern wall of the ancient settlement. [1] It underwent several renovations during the 3rd century. The building could seat between 6000-7000 people on its stone benches. The arena was surrounded by a 3-meter wall and spectators could enter through multiple gates. The amphitheater hosted sporting events, gladiator games and even animal hunts.
