The Coliseum

                                                      THE COLISEUM


                      It was created in 29 B.C.. Its coordinates are 41' N 12º E. In this monument gladiators fought among others to entertain the people of the ancient Rome. It is made up of stone. There were tigers and lions inside cage, these animals fought against people.
              This monument has been destroyed in the big fire of Rome, in the year 64 A.C.. Inside the Coliseum the people made races with horses and carts. Near the Coliseum the people built schools of gladiators where gladiators could train for the fight.
               The Coliseum is about 112.233  m. of extension. It about 48m. tall. It has the oval form. It has a lot of arches in its walls. The soil of the centre is not made of rock, it's made up of sand. If the emperor put down the thumb, the winner need to kill the loser.
                I have selected this monument because I think that it is very interesting thing in  the story of Italy and I like Italy too.
