Colosseum, Rome, Italy
Coliseum, Rome, Italy.
2003.8.30 12:51 PM EST, Canon Powershot S40, 1/30 sec., F/2.8, ISO 50.
Landed in Italy at about 4pm. Took the train from the airport to Rome and then the Metro to Manzoni to out bed-and-breakfast. The Colosseum was about a 10 minute walk.
The Colosseum in Rome is one of the world’s most amazing buildings. Built over a 10-year period during the reign of Emperor Vespasian and completed in AD80, this immense oval stadium was home to the most violent and deadly spectator sport in history; gladiatorial combat. Gladiators thrilled and titillated the 55,000 spectators who regularly filled the Colosseum.
In the blockbuster movie Gladiator, the fictional character Maximus, was a slave who rose through the ranks of gladiatorial combat to win his freedom.

The Colosseum was opened in AD 80 by Vespasian's son and successor, Titus.
