    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.

    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
