It would all depend on what was being celebrated. The Amphitheatres were used mostly as arenas to host gladiatorial games.

The gladiatorial combats were one part of the gladiatorial games, which lasted the whole day or several days. Although they were the highlights, they were part of a range of entertainments The schedule of the day, which stared at 8 am and ended at dusk was:

Displays of exotic animals

Animal hunts which replicated hunting scenes

Comic acts with clowns and dwarfs

Acrobatic and gymnastic acts

Tightrope walking

Music and dances

Animal acts similar to those at the circus

Tortures and executions

Wrestling

Boxing

Martial fights

Gladiatorial fights, which were the culmination of the day.
