History

One can scarcely imagine the thrill of witnessing 'naumachiae'—staged naval battles held in Roman amphitheatres. The rapid transition between water- and land-based performances seems to have been a major draw, a testament to both the scrupulous demands of Rome's spectators and the technical prowess of its engineers.

I wonder how many spectators got killed or maimed during these performances?

Thanks Adam!
