The stadium was originally built to host athletic contests and has 22 rows of seats with a capacity of 30,000 spectators (Aphrodisias.com, 2017). An amphitheatre was built into the stadium at the turn of the 4th-5th century CE and was used for munera (gladiator combats), venatio (beast shows), games, and circuses (Dunbabin, 2016: p.8; Aphrodisias.com, 2017). |
