Colosseum in Rome under the Flavian emperors

The Colosseum is a giant stadium built by the ancient
Romans.
The colosseum was begun by the emperor Vespa-
sian between AD 70-76 and was completed by Titus
in AD 80. During the 100-day opening festival many
gladiators and 5000 wild animals were killed. In the
Fifth century gladiatorial combats were suppressed
and 100 years later animal fights were discontinued.
Later, the building was damaged by a series of earth-
quakes and by the 15th century it was regularly used
as a source of building material for many great Roman
buildings, including St. Peter 's Basilica. This destruc-
tion was stopped by pope benedict xvi and over the
next century the massive amphitheatre was restored.
Gradually, the streets and buildings enclosing the
arena were demolished, so by 1933 The colosseum
was much as it appears today at the end of the Via dei
Fori Imperiali.
