The height of the outer wall was 157 English feet. The longer axis, walls included, was 620 feet; the shorter, 513; circumference 1770 feet; the length of the arena, 287 feet; breadth, 180 feet The superficial area was nearly six acres. The arches were num> beredf externally, from 1 to 80. One arch is not numbered, and this is believed to have been the private entrance of the emperor. There were, within the amphitheatre, four groups of ^ats, corresponding, as at Nismes, to the different orders ...of people. The seats could receive 87,000 persons, or 110,000, including those who stood. The interior has been very much despoiled, and the seats are almost ruined ; but a staircase has been con- structed, by which we ascended securely to tlie top of the build- ing, and enjoyed a grand view, not only by day, but by a full moon. Byron's splendid description in Manfred, does it no mor^ than justice. ♦ 12,000, according to tradition. Thb Pantheon. 299 The building is much deformed, by innumerable holes on the outside, believed to have been produced by the extraction of the dowels of bronze, which were originally placed in the joints to keep the stones in place.
