It was supplied with freshwater that was brought in through gaps in the walls surrounding the space. More interesting still is the complex starting line mechanism that was designed to ensure a fair start for footraces. This mechanism takes the form of a triangular pavement with sockets cut to take a row of upright posts that flank the sixteen lanes of the racetrack. A series of straight shallow grooves extend from these sockets to a single round cutting at the apex of the pavement that served as the starter
