 ·   The coliseum fights were man verses man as well as man verses wild animals.  ·   They enjoyed many sports but liked wrestling and boxing better.  ·   Romans loved watching certain events such as chariot races in the stadium and circus maximus.  ·   Gladiators were highly trained slaves, owned by rich men who gambled on them to win more money. Others were simply criminals or prisoners of war who were herded into the area and fed to wild beasts.  ·   A giant bear from what now is the Scottish Highlands was slaughtered on the opening day of the coliseum.  ·   The arena was turned into a maze of trees and bushes in which elephants, rhino’s, and tigers were hunted down.  ·   The coliseum was one of the first arenas to ever be built and has been around for a very long time. A modern day connection to the coliseum would be our modern day movie theaters, or a softball field, or a football stadium.
