The Carthage Amphitheatre is a Roman amphitheatre in Carthage, Tunisia, constructed in the first century CE and later rebuilt by Dictator Julius Caesar [1]. The arena features a podium built in opus quadratum, with its major axis later raised using Kadhel stone blocks during expansion [1]. The structure became a major entertainment venue in the provincial capital of Africa Proconsularis and could accommodate approximately 30,000 spectators [1].
