There is also a great gladiator Arena in Verona Italy, where they do shows, such as Aida during the summer months. It's not quite as large as the Colosseum in Rome, but it's still a very large structure for Roman times. It is similar in shape, and appearance, just not as grand, but it is older than the Coloseum. It's a well preserved structure as well.

I do wish that creators would place landscaping into these videos to make the street and city scenes, more real. Obviously, the Romans loved and spent a lot of money on beautiful buildings and structures in their cities. So it only makes sense that they would have trees, bushes, flowers and other plants to add even more beauty.

One thing I noted when I was there was how steep the incline of the steps were, and also how big the steps were in comparison to other ancient sites I visited. You can get seriously winded walking up them if you're not pacing yourself, as they're much steeper than they look, and no, I'm not fat or out of shape, they're just steeper and more of an exertion than the slope of modern steps we're all used to.

On the other hand it gave each person a more unobstructed view probably, and allowed more people closer to the center. Besides the steepness, the thing that struck me is the elliptical shape of the outside. And that the center portion is not exactly elliptical because the even spacing of the rows of seats distort it somewhat. Making it more of an eye shape.

I went to Rome to see the Coliseum with my parents in 1971, I was 13. Only my mother spoke fluent Italian. Someone told her that the police at that time were to have all homeless people sleep in the Coliseum at night, and be gone by the morning when tourists started to arrive. You can imagine there was a certain odor about the place, I can equate it to the NY subway system. My mother commented that she could still smell the lions.

The Colosseum was always a very notorious area of Rome. Prostitutes used to stand under the arches at night. It was also the gay area. If you watch Bertolucci's The Conformist, the Colosseum is where the main character goes to find male prostitutes. These days it's kind of trendy, gentrification being the greatest force in any city!

Great video. Very good graphic presentation and many details explained. That about the columns was especially interesting and new to me. I would add that Nero's lake was kept in a way that the arena could be flooded to display naval battles. Later it was reconstructed to the present configuration with all the rooms in the basement.
