Nimes, a city in southern France was an important Roman outpost. It has the best preserved Roman 2 tiered amphitheater, built around 70 AD.

it is very well maintained, since it is still in use today, for concerts and bull fighting

as you can see, it was a rainy day yet I still truly enjoyed the experience

Just the thought that this structure is almost 2000 years old, is remarkable.

I hope you enjoy these pictures, and thank you for looking
