 * Colosseum **
 * The Colosseum is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It opened in 80A.D. and was **** Rome **** ’s first permanent amphitheater. The Colosseum took about 11 years to build. The events that were held in it were the execution of prisoners, gladiator matches, and wild beast hunts. The Colosseum could seat tens of thousands of people, and it had a large sunshade. It was built out of stone and concrete, with three tiers of archways and columns. The lowest level was Doric columns, the second level had Ionic columns, and the third level has Corinthian columns. The colosseum was a great contribute to today’s world. Now we have great big theaters that can seat tens of thousands of people, just like ancient **** Rome ****.
