El Djem or El Jem in Tunisia is an ancient Roman town of Amphitheaters. Thysdrus as the town was known in ancient Roman times had one of the largest Amphitheaters anywhere in the Roman world. One can see remnants of three large amphitheaters, the largest one with a capacity of around 30,000. Constructed in the early 3rd Century, the sheer magnitude and detailed architecture of the amphitheater is a classic lesson in stadium building.
