| In a naumachia given by Nero, there were sea-monsters swimming about in the artificial lake. |
| Another form of the spectacle for the entertainment of the Roman public was the naumachia, or naval battle. |
| The main street itself was in many parts filled completely, and around the naumachia Augusta great heaps were piled up. |
| After the naumachia, the moon rose, and the Chinese lanterns were lighted. |
| Sometimes the vast arena was flooded with water, and naumachia or sea-fights were exhibited. |
| Officially Naumachia was launching The Sage Gateshead's SummerTyne festival but the weather was having none of that. |
