Btw great yt videos. I’m always up for the Roman Empire.
One quick note I’m sure you noticed.
At some point later found out that in I Claudius, Augustus and the Imperial family had scenes in which they were in the Colosseum watching the games, which was not built till 80 AD.
Could’ve knocked me over with a feather ;)

“Could’ve knocked me over with a feather” — heh. Caligula, ep 13...
HBO’s “Rome” series showed the small fighting arenas (more like cage fighting is today) current in the pre-Flavian centuries. The “Spectacula” amphitheater in Pompeii (built around 70 BC, buried in 79 AD) is an example of an early larger version.
Rome also had the Circus Maximus, which dated from the Etruscan monarchy period, but wasn’t rebuilt in stone until after a fire in the time of Augustus. Before that, the seating was akin to modern bleachers, and since none of the later seating appears to have survived, while some of the riser structures have, its possible that even after the rebuilding in stone, the bleachers were of wood construction.
Next time you watch the series, think “Circus Maximus” (Augustus had a special box built for the imperial family). :^)
