About the Verona Arena
The Verona Arena, a Roman amphitheater, stands in Verona, Italy, inside the historic center. It is one of the best preserved ancient amphitheaters to reach the modern era, largely thanks to systematic restoration begun in the 16th century. In summer it hosts the Arena di Verona Festival, whose opera seasons have run without interruption, except for wars, since 1913. For the other months it works as a concert venue.
Nothing written records when the amphitheater was built, so proposed dates run between the 1st and 3rd centuries. Pirro Marconi inferred that it was finished by approximately 30 AD. Scholars compare it with the amphitheater of Pula, which shares stylistic and technical similarities and is usually placed in the Augustan period. Both predate the Colosseum. By 69 AD the Verona arena already stood. The city walls were inadequate then, partly because the amphitheater lay just outside them, so Vespasian ordered a rampart and a moat.
In 265, Emperor Gallienus had a new 550-meter section of wall built to enclose the Arena. In 312, during the war between Constantine and Maxentius, the amphitheater was a stronghold for the defenders because it stood higher than those walls. Few documents describe the spectacles held there, and the only surviving literary record is a letter from Pliny the Younger. Several funerary inscriptions for gladiators killed in combat there have also turned up. One names the secutor Aedonius, who took part in eight fights in Verona and died aged twenty-six.
About this model
The Verona Arena is one of more than 4,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
