Stadium of Amantia, modern-day Albania The Stadium of Amantia was built in the 3rd century BC. Its stone rows, set in the form of an extended horseshoe, followed a track 12.5m wide and about 60m long. It had 17 rows on one side and 8 on the other and could accommodate about 4000 people. Amantia (Greek: Ἀμάντια, Ἀβάντια; Latin: Amantia) was an ancient city and the main settlement of the Amantes, traditionally located in southern Illyria. In Hellenistic times the city was either part of Illyria or Epirus. In Roman times it was included within Epirus Nova, in the province of Macedonia. The site has been identified with the village of Ploçë, Vlorë County, Albania. Amantia was designated as an archaeological park on 7 April 2003 by the government of Albania. #photography #noisecash #randomthoughts
