What is an amphitheater?

To find out what an amphitheater is, you should refer to the history textbook. Indeed, it is in the annals of the history of ancient Greece that we find the origin of the word "amphitheater".

Amphitheater translated from Greek literallymeans "two-way theater". Such, round open structures at that time were used for gladiatorial battles, baiting of wild animals or theatrical performances. Double such a theater was called because it was designed as a combination of two theaters that are standard for those times, a horseshoe-shaped view. The convenience of such a construction was that the seats of spectators were on the heights of different heights, not obscuring the view on the stage, and distributed along the outer perimeter of the arcade, gave access to the stairs, which, expanding upward, prevented the appearance of a jolt.

Today the amphitheater is called such places in the auditorium, which are located behind the stalls on stepped elevations, similar to those that were in the ancient amphitheatres.
