It was one of Augustus Caesars favorite thing to watch, kind of like guys and football! They only allowed it for one emperor. One of the biggest things to do is gladiate. It was like sports in today’s day in age. The colosseum was a large dome shaped building made out of stone with two large medal gates on each side of the arena for the gladiators to enter from. There were large stone benches circling the arena for the crowds to watch. How does this relate to today in soccialty? Because of the stadieum and areanas today. All the stadioms and areanas today got there formation on how to build from the ancient Rome collosseums.=

The Coliseum is usually made of giant stones and concrete. It was Rome’s 1st permanent amphitheatre and was originally named the Flavian Amphitheatre. The Coliseum was built over 11 years. The outer wall is about 160 feet high and the arena floor is 280 feet by 175 feet. The amphitheatres are usually oval/ circular so that no matter where you sit, your view is outstanding! At the coliseum, you may witness prisoners getting executed, gladiator matches, and wild beast hunts (which were for social, political, and religious reasons). In Rome, you will never go wrong by going to the Coliseum. It is “the thing” to do. The Colosseum had many cool affects. Sets were made so that hunts and battles could be staged: movable trees and buildings. The Colosseum also had a cool effect where you could flood the arena to stage sea battles. For entertainment, the colosseum is the place to go!
