Ulysse reported that there were 80 exit arches, which allowed 55,000 spectators to get out quickly. The labryinth underneath, where the lions and gladiators were kept, is all now exposed, though part of it has been covered over again. As you walk around the lower corridor, there are places you can step on the original marble from 72 AD, when the building was inaugurated by sacrificing 5000 animals.
