Under the nowadays Shopping center in Plovdiv, is located
the magnificent Roman stadium. Its rostrums were built over
the Sahat tepe and Taxim tepe (hills). The stadium has the
form of horseshoe and is 180 meters long and there are 30
000 seats. Some archeologists think that here were leaded
games from the Septimus Severus time (193 - 211). The flashiest
competitions were the Alexandrian games, which were just
like the Greek Olympic games. |
