The Amphitheatrum Castrense where it joins with the Aurelian Walls.

The Amphitheatrum Castrense is a Roman amphitheatre in Rome, next to the church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century. It is unusual for being built of brick (rather than the more usual stone), and for having later been incorporated into the Aurelian Walls.
