fight between inmates and animals (Colosseum)




Colosseum is a historic relic in the form of a large performance hall named ellipticalamphitheater, the original name is Flavian Amphitheatre, which is one of the SevenWonders of the World. This place is situated in the capital of Italy, Rome, the Colosseumwas built by King during the Roman Empire Vespasian and completed by his son Titus,and became one of the greatest works of Roman architecture ever built.
Regarding the year of manufacture until now there are still differences of faith. Someargue that the Colosseum was made in the year 79 BC, there is also an opinion thatwas made between the years 70-82 AD. But, most archaeologists believe that theColosseum was made in the year 70-82 AD Originally Colosseum name comes from astatue 130 feet or 40 m are called Colossus. Colosseum is designed to accommodate50,000 people
In ancient Colosseum is the venue for a spectacular show, which is a fight betweenanimals (venetaiones) against the execution of prisoners (noxii), water fight(naumachiae) by flooding the arena, and the battles between gladiators (munera). For hundreds of years, the estimated thousands of people and animals die in the showColosseum.
But at this point is not creepy like the Colosseum in ancient times, the Colosseum isnow building with beautiful architecture of Rome, thereby becoming tourist attractions to visit.
