 * The coliseum was a stone arena that was built approximately 70 a.d. It took 10 years to build the huge structure which was able to hold 70,000 people. Gladiator games were held there. The gladiators would battle wild animals like elephants, lions, and giraffes. Sometimes they flooded the coliseum so that the warriors could reenact naval battles. The coliseum is still standing today and is a popular place for tourists to go when they visit Rome. They don't have battles in it anymore but some say that ghosts still fight there. **



Modern Day Coliseum Connections  We don’t kill animals or people for fun anymore but we do still play sports. Today we still play sports in arenas and stadiums about the same size as the coliseum was. The stadium designs today were inspired by the coliseum’s design. They are all the same round shape so that you can see from wherever you are.
