homepage Coliseum aqueducts  , augustus caeser, roads,weapons  The coliseum is the main source of entertainment. In the coliseum there are fights that would not end until the gladiator died. The coliseum could hold eighty thousand people and could empty in less than twenty minutes. When the coliseum was done in 80A.D. it stood sixty-four meters high. To make it harder on the gladiator, there were trap doors that held animals and people to attack them. It was also used for prisoner execution and reenacting battles. When the surviving people were left under the floor the animals usually ripped them apart.
