Aerial view of the circus and amphitheater of Leptis Magna. The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The two performance buildings are located on the Mediterranean coastline, visible in the lower left-hand corner. First, the circus. It is depicted during a chariot race. Auriges circle the spina, while spectators in the stands cheer them on. On the right are the carceres, from which the chariots were launched. The amphitheatre is at the rear. The cavea stands are empty. The arena’s trap doors are visible. Two galleries provided access to the buildings.
