Roman Colosseum
Rome, Italy
The Roman Colosseum was capable of seating 50,000 spectators, and designed to disperse the crowd in 5 minutes. It was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on classical mythology. A wooden floor covered subterranean chambers where the gladiators and animals were kept waiting to perform. Marble originally covered the walls, stairs and floor.
