because its history
Pompeii is important because of its history.
All depends on who the amphitheatre was built for. Some were built for rich noble men who could afford private entertainment. For the "commoners" there was usually one or two in a large town . These could usually hold the whole town and maybe some on a nearby one, such as in the lost town of Pompeii. In Pompeii the amphitheatre could hold 20,000 which was the population of Pompeii and a few from the nearby town of Nuceria. This is how the riots of Pompeii started when the pompeiians and nucerians began fighting over a gladiatorial fight.
