Early woodcut view of the famous "rose "ampitheatre at Verona drawn by Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch. Title in large decorative banner; text below image.
Completed around 30 AD, it is the third largest in Italy after Rome's Colosseum and the arena at Capua. It measures 139 metres long and 110 metres wide, and could seat some 25,000 spectators in its 44 tiers of marble seats. The ludi (shows and gladiator games) performed within its walls were so famous that they attracted spectators from far beyond the city. The current two-story façade is actually the internal support for the tiers; only a fragment of the original outer perimeter wall in white and pink limestone from Valpolicella, with three stories remains.The interior is very impressive and is virtually intact, and has remained in use even today for public events, fairs, theatre and open-aired opera during warm summer nights. Good dark clear impression; minor show through of text from verso; slight spotting to lower margin; small binding hole to centre of upper margin; short centre fold split to lower margin, far from image, repaired to verso..
