Ancient Roman Collosseum

Flavian Amphitheatre
the ultimate Roman colosseum
built by Vespasian
Dedicated in 80 ce

She seated fifty thousand spectators
calling for the blood of gladiators
possibly watching Christians get devoured by lions
bloodthirsty sports
Ancient Rome’s proof of lingering corruption and cruelty
