The Colosseum was built in 70-80 A.D. in honor of Titus, Emperor Vespasian’s son. It’s the largest amphitheater ever erect-ed, and a gift to Roman citizens who would gather in its walls to watch gladiator fights, wild animal shows, re-enactments of battles and more. It could seat an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 patrons, but could empty in minutes because of its ingenious system of 80 entrance/exit arches, corridors and staircases.
