Although, I learned several new facts about the Theatre of Dionysus, the Roman circus, the Roman Colosseum, and Hagia Sophia. The most interesting fact to me is that the Roman Circus could hold 250,000 people. Professor Cifuentes pointed out this is 10x the amount of people that can fit into Amalie Arena, and 5x the amount of people that can fit into the Buc's stadium. It's fascinating to think about the traffic pattern and the distance people had to travel to get to the Roman Circus. How many people were trampled trying to get to their seats or leaving?
