The Coliseum is an ancient stadium in the center of Rome. It is
the largest of its Kind. It is very
old. They started building it in the year 70. It took ten years
to build. It is still around today.
The Coliseum has been used in many ways. In ancient Rome, men
fought each other in it. They
fought against lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my! It was dreadful.
But most of the people loved t. As
many as 80,000 Romans would pack inside to watch. These gruesome
events went on until 523.
The Coliseum has been damaged many times over the years. It was
struck by lightning in the
year 217. This started a fire. Much of the Coliseum is made of
stone. But the fire damaged the
upper levels. They were made of wood. This damage took many
years to repair. It was not finished
until the year 240.
The worst damage happened in 1349. A mighty earthquake shook
Rome and the Coliseum.
The south side of the building collapsed. Pieces of the arena
were all over the ground. Many
people took the fallen stones. Others took stones from the
seating areas. They used them to
repaid houses and churches. The Romans of those days were not
connected to the Coliseum. It
had last been used as castle. Before that it was graveyard. It
has been hundreds of years since the
games. The damage to the Coliseum was never repaired. Its good
thing the outer wall of it still
stands strong.
Today the Coliseum is one of Romes most popular attractions.
People from all over the world
come to Italy to see it. It has even appeared on the back of a
coin. I guess that makes it a symbol
that many people want too.
