Arena di Verona

Submitted by CoppellaiaMatta on Thursday, 27 March 2025   (123 reads)

Arena di Verona

Roman, Greek and ClassicalLocated in the charming Piazza Brà, the Roman amphitheatre is the main tourist attraction in Verona, and it is still used today mostly as a musical venue. The most recent study attributes the Arena to the Julio-Claudian era (14-54 AD). The size and complexity of the structure made it an important predecessor in planning the Coliseum, begun in 80 AD. The structure was deliberately situated outside the city walls but within easy reach along all major roads, in order to avoid potential disorders in the crowded city centre. According to tradition, the arena served as the inspiration for Dante's "circles of Inferno"

Lystyn Uchaf Scheduled Enclosed Hut Group

Submitted by TAlanJones on Thursday, 27 March 2025   (154 reads)

Lystyn Uchaf Scheduled Enclosed Hut Group

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe site is situated on a platform/shelf on an otherwise westerly sloping pastoral field. Coflein has recorded the site as dating from the Iron Age. I identified three hut circles within an irregular rectangular enclosure that meets a field boundary wall on its NE side. The sloping ground of this field and the adjacent fields show signs of levelling that may have accommodated further huts. A very interesting settlement site within a landscape abundant in ancient sites. [See our nearby sites list or map from this page for more - MegP Ed]
