At the time it was built, El Djem was known as Thysdrus, which was a Roman province. It was built for spectator events, and is one of the biggest amphitheatres in the world, as well as one of the best preserved Roman ruins. In terms of size, it spans 148 metres by 122 metres and was estimated to host around 35,000 spectators. During the Middle Ages, Thysdrus was attacked by the Vandals in 430 AD and by Arabs in 647 AD, and the amphitheatre was used as a fortress for shelter by the population. At the end of the 18th and 19th centuries, the amphitheatre was used for the manufacture of saltpeter. Later on in the 19th century, the amphitheatre was used for shops, shelter and the storage of grain. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
