Roman Ancona: the Amphitheatre and Its Legacy


As the Ancona Walking Tour makes its way through the old city, the remnants of the Roman city slowly emerge before our eyes. Roman Ancona grew as a key Adriatic port, connecting Italy with the eastern Mediterranean. Its prosperity emerges in the remains scattered across the city, such as the Arch of Trajan, the mosaics of the forum, and the collections of the Archaeological Museum.

The amphitheatre, carved into the hillside above the harbor, once hosted public spectacles. Today, its surviving structures recall the civic life of Roman Ancona.
