Colosseums were extravagant buildings made by Romans. They were put in the center of Rome, Italy. They were the largest things built buy the romans, and the greatest works of roman architecture and engineering. Over thousands of years from the beginning of ancient Rome to today Rome is popular for modern films, literature, and dramatic films, or nonstop entertainment. You could say that because of the Romans today we still have that entertainment today such as: movies, music, and plays. These things are just as popular today as it was then. Entertainment was one of the most important things to ancient Romans. They had multiple matches between gladiators, baited animals, mock naval battles, and chariot races. These battles were bloody but they could hold up to 50,000 people who loved to watch them. The colosseum was the soul of the Roman entertainment too. But Colosseums had there down slides too. They had natural disasters, including lightning strikes, earthquakes, and fires. It is estimated that about 500,000 people and over one million wild animals were killed during the uses of the colosseums also. After the cease of the entertainments in the early medieval times, they were still used for things such as housing, workshops, and a christian shrine.
