Colosseum , also called  Flavian Amphitheatre , giant  amphitheatre  built in  Rome  under the  Flavian emperors . Construction of the Colosseum was begun sometime between 70 and 72  CE  during the reign of  Vespasian . It is located just east of the  Palatine Hill , on the grounds of what was  Nero ’s  Golden House . The artificial lake that was the centrepiece of that palace complex was drained, and the Colosseum was sited there, a decision that was as much symbolic as it was practical. Vespasian, whose path to the throne had relatively humble beginnings, chose to replace the tyrannical emperor’s private lake with a public amphitheatre that could host tens of thousands of Romans.

However, the entrance was free for anybody. रोम  का कोलोसियम   आधुनिक विश्व के ...
