The remains of the colosseum where Felicity and Perpetual were martyred. It is difficult to imagine the scope of the place since the structure is mostly destroyed. The seating would have towered high above the ground. There is now a chapel in the center below ground.

A mosaic from that period in the Bardo Museum which portrays humans being attacked by animals.

I was able to visit the site of their martyrdom recently. One of the moving experiences I have had, as it was combined with the reading of this account.

An amazing space! A friend in his mid-eighties lives nearby and often goes there on walks. Just beautiful!
