The Roman Colosseum

The Roman Colosseum

This is my version of the Roman Colosseum. It was constructed over 1900 years ago, and much of it still remains standing today. Due to its enormity, it stands as one of the 7 wonders of the world and the largest amphitheater in the world to this day. The colosseum housed gladiatorial/hunting games for over 390 years, and in that time, saw the death of around 1 million animals, and hundreds of thousands of people. The sand that covered the floor of the colosseum was tinted red due to the severe amounts of blood shed during the gladiatorial games. What was once a site of death and violence, now is one of the greatest tourist attractions around the world giving us an important look into roman daily life and history.
