__The Colosieum __ 

**The great Coliseum of Rome is one of its greatest and most famouse symbols. although in ruins now, the coliseum was once a magnificent arena in wich men and beasts from exotic lands fought and died for the amusment of the crowd. The glatiators of Rome were usualy slaves and were usualy forced to fight. For the entertainment of the crowd, great battles were reenacted by the fighters. The size alone of the structure is amazing, in ancient times, it held 5,000 spectators and provide shade and comfort, mutch like modern sports stadiums. ** 

**The crowd always had a famouse choice, when a gladiator had beaten his aponent, the crowd chose if the loser would live or, more often die **. ** Remember, the coloseum had rules. the richest patrons sat at the bottom and the less wealthy sat higher up. if you ever go to the Coloseum, enjoy the show if you can, but dont commit crimes unles you want to be fed to the lions. A place that is similar to the Coliseum is a baseball staduim because people play baseball and thousands of people come to watch and be entertained. Some other places would be a football stadium, a hockey stadium, and a tennis court. ** media type="custom" key="2982460" width="145" height="178"
