Long Description:
[FR] Le théâtre-amphithéâtre de Néris conjuguait les fonctions de théâtre (pour les représentations de comédies et de tragédie) avec les fonctions d'amphithéâtre (pour les jeux dits "du cirque" : combats de gladiateurs, combats entre hommes et bêtes fauves...).
Le plan est elliptique ; des gradins sur la moitié du bâtiment permettaient à environ 3 000 spectateurs de suivre les spectacles donnés dans l'arène.
