| Trier Germany Roman Amphitheater |
 |
Near the imperial baths in Trier, Germany,
are the ruins of a Roman amphitheater, dating
from the first century AD. The amphitheater
was used in the Roman imperial era (until the
5th century) for gladiator fights and animal
contests.
The entire structure, consisting of an
elliptical arena and a stepped auditorium,
was surrounded by a high wall, divided into
individual stories by colonnaded arcades. The
complex could seat up to 25,000 people.
Underneath the arena is a vast basement where
gladiators, criminals, and exotic beasts were
kept prior to their release into the arena.
In the 5th century, the inhabitants of Trier
used the amphitheater as a place of refuge
from the increasingly frequent raids by
Germanic tribes. The site was used as a
quarry in the Middle Ages.
Today, the amphitheater area is used for the
Antiquity Festival and open-air concerts.

| Jason Mraz at Ironstone Amphitheater - Song For A Friend |
 |
The last half of the song, performed at the
Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys, CA - 7 Jul
2006. It was a great finish to his set...he
opened for Rob Thomas, and blew him away.
Oh, and the really rude people laughing and
carrying on halfway through the song...well,
I didn't actually notice them being that
loud. The camera apparently has an
"obnoxious" filter.
