Socially it served as a place of punitive control, where executions of criminals and prisoners took place. Politically it served as a permanent reminder of the benevolence of the Empower and the power of the Empire. The architecture needed to satisfy three requirements, 'Commodity', 'Firmness' and 'Delight'. The practical design gave form to its public function successfully. The oval shape allowed the architect to fit more people around the edges as well as an unobstructed view of events. The staged seating enhanced visibility
