The modern ampitheatre is a classically misnamed public viewing arena. True ampitheatres resemble contemporary stadiums with seating all the way around the stage or field. The name ‘ampitheatre’ comes from the Greek “amphi” meaning “around” or “on both sides” and ‘theatron’ meaning “place to view”.
I write this in a incorrectly-named ampitheatre.
