Around c. 180 CE, the Romans constructed an amphitheater at Augusta Raurica on the edge of the city. The ruins remain and can be visited today. Built entirely of private funds donated by influential citizens, the Roman amphitheater at Augusta Raurica was the site of gladiatorial shows and other spectacles. Entry to these shows was free and performances were financed by civic dignitaries from their own pockets.
