Roman Coliseum

The Roman Colosseum is an ancient amphitheater in Rome, built around 70-80 AD, and is one of the most iconic symbols of Roman engineering. It was designed to host large public spectacles such as gladiator contests, animal hunts, and mock sea battles. Constructed primarily from stone and concrete, its open-air oval shape could hold approximately 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. The structure featured complex tunnels and chambers for animals and performers. Today, it remains a powerful reminder of Roman architectural innovation and cultural history, attracting millions of visitors annually.
