Summary
The Colosseum
The Colosseum was constructed in A.D. 75 by Emperor Vespasian as a gift for the people of Rome and has withstood over two thousand years of earthquakes, fires, wars, and neglect.This beautiful structure showcases the architectural, engineering, and inventive talents of ancient Romans--and the Roman's terrible appetite for death and violence.
