FALL OF A ROMAN THEATRE.

FROM TACITUS.

In the next Consulship, which was that of Marcus
Licinius and Lucius Calpurniu3, an unforeseen disaster
(no sooner begun than ended) laid a scene of ruin equal
to the havoc of the most destructive war. A man of
the name of Atilius, the son of a freed man, under took
at Fidena to build an amphitheatre for the exhibition
of gladiators. The foundation was slight, and the su-
perstructure not sufficiently braced. The consequence
was, that the building, overloaded with spectators, gave
way at once. All who were under the roof, besides a
prodigious multitude that stood round the place, wete
crushed in the ruins. The number of killed or maimed
was not less than 50,000. The Senate provided by a
decree, that for the future no man whose fortune was
under 400,000 sesterces should presume to exhibit a
spectacle of gladiators, and that till the foundation was
examined, no amphitheatre should be erected. Atilius,
the builder, was condemned to banishment. The
Grandees of Rome displayed their humanity on this
occasion ; they threw open their doors, 'they ordered
medicines to be distributed, and the physicians attended
with assiduity in every quarter. The city of Rome re-
called, in that juncture, an image of ancient manners,
when, after a battle bravely fought, the sick and
woultded were received with open arms, and relieved
by the generosity of their country. ,
