Description	The amphitheatre where Perpetua and Felicity were martyred in 202 AD. A white pillar in the center marks the spot they were martyred. The various gates around the sides held animals or were exits and entrances of prisoners. The marble plaque over the door to a crypt-like structure in the center of the arena says "ICI FURENT MARTYRISEES SAINTE PERPETUE, SAINTE FELICITE."
