Cavea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Roman times the cavea were the subterranean cells in which wild animals were confined before the combats in the Roman arena or amphitheatre.[1]
The word cavea was also used to refer to where the spectators sat in the theater according to their place in the social hierarchy.[citation needed]
