THE FLAVIAN AMPHITHEATER:
THE COLOSSEUM
On the site of an artificial lake in Nero’s Golden House, the
Flavian emperors built an amphitheater that was to become
a symbol of Rome itself – the Colosseum. Learn the odd
origin of its nickname, the Colosseum, study the intricacies
of its construction, and trace its long history from its days of
glory through centuries of abandonment and neglect to its
final rescue and stabilization.
