        Colosseum
        This beautiful artifact was
        first opened to the public in 79 AD. It was used as a quarry
        by many architects of the middle ages and renaissance. The
        colosseum could hold 45,000 to 50,000 people in its eliptical
        shape and covered approximately 6 acres of land. In its
        completed form seating was in three tiers with standing room
        above the third tier. The three tiers were decorated with
        Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns, respectively. Above the
        third tier was a windowed wall.
        Beneath the timbered floor
        there was a maze of dens where animals in movable cages were
        kept. In addition, the arena could be flooded for sea fights
        and an awning could be raised to protect an audience from
        inclement weather. The seats were supported by a vaulted
        substructure. -Ventilation was good and the large crowds were
        easily accommodated by an excellent system of staircases,
        entrances and exits. Originally the colosseum has a marble
        facing and marble seats, it was also adorned by statues.
        It was a place for games and
        the exhibition of wild, exotic beasts. Usually the animals
        were made to fight with one another or with men. Most popular
        events were the gladiator contests, man against man.
