Excavations on the legionary amphitheatre of Burnum

At the site of Karlovac in Burnum a Roman military amphitheatre was discovered, which typologically belongs to the amphitheatres with four entrances (two main entrances in the crown of the ellipse and two side ones). Natural terrain configuration was utilized, and wherever possible bedrock of the karst valley was adapted by hewing, which made building much easier. Members of Legio XI started building the amphitheatre at Burnum, making all necessary preparations and terrain levelling and some time later they also built the amphitheatre. Rich archaeological material which can be dated to Claudius’ time (especially coins) confirms this.
