The Amphitheatre of El Jem, located in El Djem, Tunisia, is a remarkable example of Roman architecture and engineering. Constructed in the early 3rd century AD, it is one of the largest amphitheatres in the world, with a seating capacity of around 35,000 spectators. This grand structure was primarily used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, similar to the Colosseum in Rome. Its well-preserved state provides a glimpse into the grandeur of the Roman Empire’s provincial cities.
