The Colosseum in Rome, Italy

October 8, 2014 Leave a Comment

The Colosseum or Coliseum is also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre and is the largest amphitheater ever built. The Colosseum is oval in shape and is built of concrete and sand. Construction began in 72 AD and was completed in 80 AD. The Colosseum gets its name for the three emperors from the Flavian dynasty and it was named in Latin for its association with the Flavius family name. It is located just east of the Roman Forum in the center of Rome in Italy.
