In the first room, located at the entrance, there are various inscriptions bearing dedications to the emperors Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, as well as a model recreating the original structure of the Amphitheatre. In the second room, to the right of the first room, there are various reliefs depicting gladiatorial combat scenes and mythical characters that adorned the Amphitheatre and a reconstruction of the steps of a cavea with access to it (the vomitoria). In the third room, to the left of the first, there is a mechanical representation of a gladiatorial combat.
