• the hoists and lifts
• moonlight walk along the new walkway through the perimeter and straight corridors to the western manoeuvring chamber
• ascent up the stairs under the Triumphal Gate
• walk along the so-called “service gallery” and passage in front of the Aedicule of the Way of the Cross and Cross to learn about the post-ancient history and the rediscovery of the underground area from the 19th century onwards
• Plan of the arena and account of the shows that took place here during the games offered by the emperors
