Best Answer

ancient Rome built a large number of amphitheatres in many parts of its empire. Rome had the best and biggest ones, however, there were other notable ones in their empire. The amphitheaters were used for the presentation of plays, hold gladiator combats, and in some cases such as the Colosseum, used to execute enemies.
