The Roman Colosseum

   

     If you ever wonder how much of that movie Gladiator is true, this site will tell you your answer, and much more!  On this site will tell you a lot of interesting facts about Ancient Rome plays, Roman theatres, and much more that you will be glad to know!

    This Ancient theatre was 160 feet high.  To enter, you could choose one of seventy-six entrances!  The building was made of limestone, brick, concrete, and marble.  There were four stories of windows, arches, and columns.  Each of the three outside floors has eighty arches. 

HEY!  Want to see the Colosseum in real life?  Well, then buy a plane ticket to Rome.  Too much money?  Then look below.

Here's a picture of one of the monstrous walls!  You can see what we mean when we say a lot of columns.

Here's a picture of another wall.  As you can see, the theatre is really old and has decayed some!  The marble walls have chipped and worn away.

This is a shot of inside the Colosseum:

Cool, huh?  Note how it resembles a theatre-like Macchu Picchu.  The stone structures make great hiding spots for warrior that don't want to be shot in the back.
