  Spectator

  True, the Romans built the city as a copy of Rome:
  -on seven hills, with the amphitheatre Arena which hosted gladiatorial contests in front of an audience of 20.000 spectators.
  -the little Roman Theatre
  -the Forum with the temple of August erected in 2BC.
  -the remaining of the temple of Diane nowadays incorporated into the city hall -the Triumphant Arch of the Sergi erected in 2 BC.
  -the Twin gates 
  -the Gate of Hercules with the city walls.

  Interesting, right?
