Description

C'est un demi amphithéâtre adossé à la colline de Mazerolles au sud du bourg de Gennes.

Des fouilles récentes montrent que cet amphithéâtre construit à la fin du pemier siècle fut utilisé jusqu'au début du troisième siècle (comme l'indique les éléments mobiliers, monnaies et poteries, retrouvés).

La cavea* est uniquement constituée de la pente du coteau.

Cette arène elliptique pouvait accueillir jusqu'à 10 000 personnes.
