The Colosseum is a building which doesn't need any introduction, it is one of the New7Wonders of the World. One of the most recognized ancient structure, the symbol of Rome.
Even though, I try to write a few interesting fact about it.
The construction spanned from emperor Vespasian who ordered its building in AD 72, his son and successor, Titus completed it in 80 and then, Domitian made further modifications between 81–96. All three of these emperors were the members of the Flavian dynasty, so the Colosseum is also referred as the Flavian Amphiteatre. It is believed that its name derives from the colossal, 30-metre high bronze statue of emperor Nero (Colossus Neronis) that stood nearby.
Yes, it is an amphiteatre, the biggest ever built. It was built for Roman citizens to entertain themselves with gladiator combats, naumachiae (staged naval battles), executions and drama plays. The estimated capacity of the building is between 50 000–80 000 spectators.
During the course of history, the Colosseum was stripped of by stone-robbers, its material was reused in bulding palaces, churches and any other edifice of Rome.
I have visited the Colosseum three times and besides its artistic grandeur, I was surprised it is a home to lots of cats :)
