Yes, the emperors paid for the gladiatorial combats in the Colosseum and also in other arenas. This was because the cost was so high that only the emperor could afford to pay for them. But please understand, the gladiator fights were not simply popularity ploys. By the time of the emperors they were given in celebration of something such as a military victory, or a major festival of Thanksgiving to some god.

How where amphitheatres designed?

The best amphitheaters are known from ancient Greek & Roman times. An example of a huge amphitheater is the Roman Colosseum. It was large and of circular design. It's function of staging gladiator fights, mass executions and other bloody displays have been described by many historians over the years. It's size, allowing for about 50,000 spectators was unique in the ancient world. It was also designed to be flooded to enable mock naval battles to be held. Most amphitheaters however were not like the Colosseum. They were generally smaller and shaped in a semi circular way, made from stone. They most often were used for plays, musical events or meetings. Both ancient Greeks & Romans constructed these amphitheaters in most of the larger cities the Romans & Greeks founded and or conquered throughout the Mediterranean Sea area. Since the ancient Roman empire had a vast area, their amphitheaters can be found in Europe and North Africa. Most are in ruins, however a few are still "almost" intact enough to see how they were made and how many people they could accommodate.

Probably an ancient thing. Mensturation may have been seen as dirty, because things that were bloody you could get sick from. So I am thinking probably ancient greece.
