1 00:00:01 --> 00:00:09 The amphitheater was designed with a network of pipes and sewers for draining away rainwater. 2 00:00:10 --> 00:00:15 As the cavea was shaped like a funnel, it was necessary to prevent the rainwater from converging on the arena floor area. 3 00:00:16 --> 00:00:21 Roman engineers created three annular sewer pipes (A, B, C) and a drain, which were distributed under the amphitheater. 4 00:00:22 --> 00:00:30 Pipe B was linked to chambers that contained holding tanks for water that could be used to clean the edifice.
