Gary MannersHOST
A message cut into marble.
Gary MannersHOST
On September 10, 2026, the Italian Ministry of Culture announced a new discovery after excavations in the location known as the Amphitheater.
Gary MannersHOST
The excavation team from University of Urbino Carlo Bo came to discover a small quadrangular structure made up of tufa blocks held together by mortar, which was situated between the so-called amphitheater and a bank of tufa.
Gary MannersHOST
In the forepart of the structure, a marble slab was found, measuring around 40 cm by 35 cm, 15.7 by 13.8 inches, which bore inscriptions in two lines reading, FVLGVR SFMANOVM.
speaker_5NARRATOR
The book is illustrated by plates, representing different examples of his practice, in which he is shown vaulting over one or more horses, or leaping upon them, in one alighting in the saddle, and in another upon the bare back of a horse.
speaker_5NARRATOR
It is singular that this last feat should not have been performed after Stokes' time, until Arthur Bradbury exhibited it a few years ago at the Amphitheatre in Holborn.
speaker_5NARRATOR
It is improbable that Bradbury had seen the book, and his performance of the feat is, in that case, one more instance of the performance of an original act by more than one person at considerable intervals of time.
speaker_5NARRATOR
Mayfair, which has given its name to a locality now aristocratic, introduces us, in 1702, the year in which the fearful riot occurred in which a constable was killed there, to Thomas Simpson, an equestrian vaulter, described in a bill of Husband's Booth as the famous vaulting master of England.

Were Astley to preach a sermon standing on his head or on a horse's back, he would collect a multitude to hear him, but no wise man would say he had made a better sermon for that.
speaker_5NARRATOR
The earliest displayed advertisement of Astley's which I have been able to discover is as follows, which appeared in 1788.
speaker_5NARRATOR
Astley's Amphitheatre, Westminster Bridge.
speaker_5NARRATOR
Young Astley's surprising equestrian exercises in the intervals.
speaker_3NARRATOR
The draughts blew on them, bringing a smell of stale tobacco, and Gurov, whose heart was beating violently, thought, Oh, heavens, why are these people here in this orchestra?' And at that instant he recalled how when he had seen Anna Sergeyevna off at the station he had thought that everything was over and they would never meet again, but how far they were still from the end.
speaker_3NARRATOR
On the narrow, gloomy staircase over which was written To the Amphitheatre she stopped.
speaker_3NARRATOR
"'How you have frightened me!' she said, breathing hard, still pale and overwhelmed.
speaker_3NARRATOR
"'Oh, how you have frightened me! I am half dead.

Amphitheatrum.

That sounds heavy.

Like a big stone bowl.
Darren MarlarHOST
And the amphitheater, Chavez says, as he and Pete seem to be pulling equipment from the left side of the room.
Darren MarlarHOST
Pete's face is pretty pale as he walks by, but I stop them regardless.
Darren MarlarHOST
Amphitheater? Pete just looks to me and shakes his head.
Darren MarlarHOST
I sigh.
Darren MarlarHOST
"'Chavez, that wasn't in the order.' Timothy chimes in.
DonnaHOST
So testing launches from the site probably, hopefully, maybe, means Disney's planning to utilize it for upcoming fireworks performances.
DonnaHOST
The regular-time spectacular at Disney's Hollywood Studios is Fantasmic, which is in the Amphitheater.
DonnaHOST
The large launch site could potentially be used for Jingle Bell Jingle Bam, which we know is behind the paywall of Jollywood Nights.
DonnaHOST
Or who knows? Maybe they are testing it for New Year's fireworks, New Year's-y fireworks, or whatever.
Michael ZurichGUEST
Somebody says it's smaller.
Michael ZurichGUEST
Now, where we do it there at NICU, at the Amphitheater, I mean – Once again, not complaining, but now they have a, you saw it, a beer garden or whatever the hell that is on the northern end of it.
Michael ZurichGUEST
Extra storage, kind of.
Michael ZurichGUEST
And then he has a GPS receiver he puts on his Cayman, and Marcus is a tremendous autocrosser.
Bailey SarianHOST
And as expected, it was a smash hit and Philip was ready to expand.
Bailey SarianHOST
So in 1773, Philip built Astley's Amphitheater where his brand spanking new show was going to be performed.
Bailey SarianHOST
And things were going pretty well for Philip for about 10 years straight.
Bailey SarianHOST
But where there is money and success, there's gonna be competition and drama per use.

And by the end of 1792, it was complete.
Bailey SarianHOST
John Bill called it Ricketts Art Pantheon and Amphitheater.

What the hell is a pantheon? And that's where the trope began training.
