Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina The Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina is located in Uthina , near Tunis, Tunisia . Building for Uthina began in 40 BC and continued through to 135 AD. The amphitheatre may have been a later addition to what was already a large town. Also located there were a fortress, cisterns, an aqueduct, a triumphal arch, a theatre, and a basilica with a circular crypt . Coordinates 36.608598,10.169214 Description The amphitheatre, partly buried, measures 113 by 90 meters. The arena measures 58 by 35 metres, giving surface areas of 7988 and 1539 square metres respectively. There are four entrances, two main entrances at each end, with the seating area supported by three tiers of columns and arches. (Although these are no longer there, measurements and amphitheater descriptions rely on a complete building.) Measurements for the amphitheatre on site are 12 0 by 89 metres, with the arena measuring 67 by 36 metres. The surface areas measure 10680 an d 24...
The Flavian Amphitheatre is situated in Pozzuoli, Italy, built in 80 ad and is the third-largest Roman amphitheatre. It is located about 13kms west of Naples and 500m from the coast. The site was chosen at the nearby crossing of roads from Naples, Capua, and Cumae.

The amphitheatre is angled at 37° towards the northwest, and two measurements like from the Colosseum are 147m by 117m (482 by 384ft), with the arena floor measuring 72.22m by 42.33m (237 by 139ft)
The ratio of the building to the floor is 1.36. The angle, when built, would have been 2.953° less at 34.05°.
Area
π×117×147=54032.25m²
π×72.22×42.33=9604.08m²
54032.25×9604.08=518930051.58
518930051.58÷223=2327040
If considering that the measurements of the arena floor added then multiplied by two and subtracted from one side of Khufu’s pyramid, a number of 1.36 is achieved.
72.22+42.33=114.55
(114.55×2)−230.46=1.36
If considering for height, then using cubit for the height, which is known as 280 or 146.46m and applying the same ratio.
147+117=264
264-280=16
Subtracting so as to equal 13.6 difference and then subtracting from the accepted height, a number of the root of the golden ratio is achieved.
264-277.6=13.6
277.6×0.523=145.1848
145.1848−146.46=1.275
277.6×0.523=145.1848
145.1848−146.46=1.275
1.275÷0.523=2.43
Conclusion
It can be considered as using metres for measurements when converting to cubits.
This also involves subtracting 2.4 from the number, but this could be the error, which is known as 24.3m.
When using different heights then different numbers are achieved. Considering that the numbers 2.4, root of the golden ratio, and 146.46m are numbers from Khufu’s pyramid, then these numbers could be correct.
The splitting of the amphitheatre as two segments allows for the 2nd calculation.
The two areas multiplied could equate to the number of stones in Khufu’s pyramid at 2.4 million, when using the number 223 from Saros.
By 80 ad, it was 111 years after victory over Egypt, but the Romans still occupied Egypt, and the use of Egyptian pyramid measurements could be considered as still in use. With this then the overall volume was the main theme, and it was produced from two volumes, which allowed lunar month to be included. The 1.275 number could be the golden ratio, but it could also be a ratio 114.55×1.275=146.05.
This then goes to support an Egyptian pyramid theme in the build.
