The Amphitheatre of Salona (Solin)

Salona was an early Roman settlement. The amphitheatre formed part of the town defence system and its remains are comparatively well-preserved. It is believed that it could have accommodated about fifteen thousand, or even more, spectators. In order to enable fast entrance to and evacuation from the auditorium, a double system of communications was designed: radial, as related to the building ellipse, and circular, as related to the levels of the seat rows.
