"When the Colosseum was finished in 80 AD there was a huge celebration. There were many games and sports played that sacrificed many wild animals and men. The shows were very disgusting. They would have animal hunts in which the gladiators would try and kill the animals. Animals would be set to fight against each other. The stage manager would make hills, forests, and even small lakes on the wooden floor. There were enough elevators and trap doors under the stage to release one hundred lions at one time. The man vs. man shows was the bloodiest. There were four schools that trained gladiators who would fight each other. It w

as very barbaric. In other shows they killed many Christians. In some shows they would flood the Colosseum and have small sea battles.

The Colosseum was built under three Flavian emperors Vespasia, Titus (Vespasia's son), and Dominitan (Titus' nephew). (Colosseum)

The Ampitheater was covered with sand, so when there was fighting the blood would soak up into the sand. The dead gladiators and animals would be carried out the Libitinarian Gate. This gate was named after Libitinarian, the goddess of funerals.

The Flavian Ampitheater was to hold at least 50,000 people. The seats were ranked in order of social class. For example, the Emperor had the best seats, and the women had the worst seats.
