Antonio de Beatis left a handwritten account of the journey he made with the Cardinal of Aragon in 1517/18 (Germany, Netherlands, France, England). Antipolis possessed both a theatre and an amphitheatre; the exact structure of latter remains unknown

“Vicino decta villa è uno amphiteatro, ruinato”
= “Near the said town is an amphitheatre, in ruins ” .
