An inscription that was discovered in 1958 and is now on display in the Museum of Gallo-Roman civilisation helped date the construction of this amphitheatre to 19 AD, under Tiberius. This amphitheatre was used for entertainment, but it was also the federal sanctuary of the Three Gauls in which each tribe was represented, thus ensuring loyalty of the Gallic people to the Emperor. The highest social standing a Gaul could reach was to become a federal priest of Rome and Augustus. The amphitheatre nestles on a hill and measures 128 x 104m. Coins displayed in the Museum of Gallo-Roman civilisation reproduce the holiness of the altar of Rome and Augustus which is overlooked by two statues of the Victory perched on columns. A post in the centre of the arena serves as a reminder that the martyrs of 177 were sacrificed in this amphitheatre.
