The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater (meaning “theatre in the round”) in the world!
This brilliant building had 80 entrances and could seat approximately 50,000 spectators who would come to watch sporting events and games. These events included gladiatorial combats, wild animal hunts and, believe it or not, ship naval battles! .
+ info
The events at the Colosseum were seriously brutal, though – around 10,000 animals were killed in a single day.
Free for all! At the Colosseum’s major events – often those organised and paid for by the emperors themselves – there was no entry fee. And free food was sometimes served, too. Bonus! Emperors would use this as a way to gain popularity and support from the public. .
Below the Colosseum were numerous rooms and underground passages. Here is where the animals and gladiators were kept, waiting to meet their fate in the arena above. There were also 36 trap doors in the arena for special effects! .
Films
✨ Spartacus (2012)
The Gladiator (2000). With Russel Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix
The Super Mario Bros movie (2023)
Asterix and Caesar (1985)
