Description

The Colosseum in Rome Italy demands your attention. You can’t resist altering your walking route to walk past it. Then you cannot walk past it without thinking that you need ‘just one more photo’. You might even get out of bed early to go for a visit. It has an irresistible draw. This photo was taken close to sunrise with the added bonus of moonrise. The Colosseum or Coliseum is also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 70 AD and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81-96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius). The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, and was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine. In the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers, but the Colosseum remaions an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. The Colosseum, like all the Historic Centre of Rome, Properties of the Holy See in Italy and the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.
