Coliseum– the largest amphitheater in Rome, a real symbol Italy One of the seven modern wonders of the world. Him the building lasted 8 years– with 72 to 80 years under the order of the Flyvia Dynasty, and very little for the purpose of showing the extraordinary power of the emperor. The amphitheater has begun roman Emperor Wessinian after the victory in Judaea, he completed the building in the 80-year-old emperor –Titus.
The opening of the Colosseum was represented by gladiatorial games. Roman historian Svatonia he said, “In the celebration of the amphitheater, and he was hastily built near the bass, he showed a gladiator battle, a miracle rich and beer; he made a sea fight, and then he released the gladiators and released one day 5,000 different wild beasts.”.
The original name of the Colosseum is the amphitheater of Flavians, and the current name of the title began to be used much later from the 18th century. For a long time, the Colosseum was for Rome and the main place of entertainment: the gladiators, the sea battles (probably built under the arena of the basement room began by Brother Titus, emperor Dominitian). Soon the fire partly destroyed the amphitheater, but by order Alexander Spieera he was restored. 248 emperor Palip he celebrated for millennia of Rome, and the Emperor of the West Roman Empire Norny in the year 405, the gladiate battles in the Colosseum were forbidden as anti-Christian.
After the arrival of the barbarians of the Flavian amphitheater, he will again be able to claim partial destruction. From the 19th century to 1132 CE, the Colosseum was a fort for famous Roman tribes. Then the Holy Roman Commissioner Henri VIl he gave the Colosseum to the Roman Senate and the people. And in 1332, the local aristocracy set up battle fights here, which was one of the reasons why the systematic destruction of the Colosseum. And in the 18th and 16th centuries, the building materials of the amphitheater were used to build the Venetian palace, the head of Roriario – the palace of the chancellor Paul ill is the palace of Farneux, etc. A lot of the amphitheater still survived, although the building remained distorted.
I first accepted the Colosseum to protect my father XIV Benedict (1740- 1758) He ordered an enormous cross in the middle of his arena, and round – a set of altar men in the memory of the Holgof and the death of the Savior. This cross and altar have been removed from the Colosseum in 1874. The Pope, who inherited Benedict XIV, especially Pete VIl and Leo 17th, continued to take care of the preservation of the entire parts of the building, and strengthened some walls that were threatening to fall, and Paie IX was also doing the internal setting of the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is under the control of the Italian government, under which, under the leadership of scientists archeologists, the fragments of the buildings were inserted in their former place, and in the arena, there was a great deal of basement spaces. Despite all the problems, the trials that have been thrown out by the Colosseum are entertainment, although they have not yet saved the previous species, but are also doing extraordinary impressions for today.
Now the Colosseum became a symbol of Rome and one of the most popular tourist objects. In the 21st century, the Colosseum, according to the voting results, was recognized by one of the seven New Wonders of the world.

Architecture Colosseum
Just like many other aphitheater, the Colosseum is like an ellipse inside which the arena is the same shape. The building of this kind of Colosseum is different. This greatest antique amphitheater: length his external ellipse is equal to 524 m, arena length–85.75 uh, her width – 53.62 m, height his walls – from 48 to 50 meters For these sizes he could hold close 50,000 viewers The Colosseum is built on concrete foundation thick in 13 meters.
Architecture’s solution is applied to the building of the Colosseum, and today is used for stadium building: multiple inputs are equal across the perimeter of the building. Because of this audience, the Colosseum could have filled 15 minutes and leave by 5 the Colosseum had a minute 80 inputs From which 4 were designed for higher knowledge and led to the lower row. Ordinary audience went into an amphitheater under a lower floor attack. These seats were located around the entire arena as rows of stone lairs rising above each other. The bottom row, or the event, was intended solely for the emperor, his family, and his senators, and the Emperor had a special place that came above others. The division separated from the arena of the parachute is high enough to secure the audience from the animal attack. And then there were places for the normal audience that produced three berries. On the first level, which contained 20 rows of lava (today completely destroyed), sat in city powers; the second one, which consisted of 16 rows of lava, was for people who had rights to Roman citizenship. The wall that separated the second poison from the third was quite high, and the lava of the third apple was placed on a more steep surface to give the third apple visitors a better place to see the arena and everything that was happening on it. During the attack sailors of the imperial fleet they were pulling up the amphitheater huge t to protect the viewers from the hot sun or the candy.
The cost of the building material used to build an amphitheater — over that time, there were about eight million francs. The Colosseum is really a symbol of great Rome, and they say in vain “While the Colosseum is standing and Rome, the Colosseum will disappear, and the whole world will disappear.”.
