Description The Colosseum is an elliptical amphitheatre in the center of Rome. Built of concrete and stone, it is the largest amphitheater ever built. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor Titus. The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine. Original photo.
