It was 450 metres long by 80 metres wide and probably built by Emperor Maximian in the 4th c. AD in the wide bed of the river Nirone next to the imperial district. Today, only a few blocks of the foundations of the stands remain (found in the cellars of some houses in Via Cappuccio and Via Morigi) and some parts of the hollow brick and pebble conglomerate elevations in Via Vigna.
