Look down into the dungeons where they would have been preparing themselves beforehand and wild animals would have been kept.
The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre , is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine limestone, tuff, and brick-faced concrete, it was the largest amphitheatre ever built at the time and held 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitia. These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name.
