The Roman Colosseum The Colosseum is one of the world heritage sites today. Despite the fact that it was built over 2000 years ago and the fact that it was abandoned for centuries and pillaged, it is still recognizable for some of its former grandeur. The Colosseum which is the base upon which modern amphitheaters are modeled had seating space for 60,000 and standing room for a further 10,000. It was so beautifully laid out, with 80 gates that all 70,000 spectators and participants could enter and leave within minutes. The Colosseum, originally called the Flavian Amphitheatre, was built to entertain the Roman commoners who liked circuses. In 68AD, after the death of Emperor Nero Vespasian was declared emperor and he decided to build a new amphitheatre to please his subjects and to serve as a monument to his greatness.
