About the Colosseum

The largest ever built Colosseum in the Roman Empire. At the time, they called it: Flavian Amphitheater, and it is one of the greatest works of Roman engineering. The built of the Colosseum started between 70 and 72 AD and completed in 80 AD.

The emperors of the Flavian dynasty built it. It has long been a symbol of Imperial Rome. In the original state, the building was capable of seating around 50,000 people and was most famous for their gladiator contests. For over 500 years the Colosseum was in use, with the last recorded games held in the 6th century.

Besides the traditional gladiator fights, many other public shows were held. Shows like animal hunts, executions, re-enactments, famous battles, and drama based on Classical mythology.

After this era, the building got used for other purposes. Such as a quarter for a religious order, housing, a place where workshops were held, a quarry, and a Christian Shrine. To this day, the Colosseum still has strong connections with the Roman Catholic Church. Every Good Friday, the Pope leads a torchlit “Way of the Cross.”
