Located east of the Roman Forum, the Colosseum was comissioned around A.D. 70-72 by Emperor Vespasin. It was the largest amphitheater in the Roman world made of stone and concrete. There were more than 50,000 seats to watch events that happened in Rome. There were a lot of gladiators who fought here, generally slaves, criminals or prisoners of war. I think this monument is really fascinating and I wish one day I could go see it.
