Explore ancient Rome with guided tours of Colosseum and Palatine
It is believed to be related to the bronze statue of about 38 meters, known as the ‘Colossus’, which Nero wanted to be built in his image next to the Domus Aurea, the best known name for the Flavian Amphitheatre. However, it was only in the Middle Ages, with the oblivion of the imperial luxuries and the aristocratic gens, that the name Colosseumbegan to replace, in the common language, the Flavian Amphitheatre. At that time, the Colosseum was the stage of fierce battles between gladiators, executions, naumachia and hunting shows. About 80,000 spectators watched the fierce fighting from sunrise to sunset, and sometimes at night, when the bloodied gladiators fought by the torchlight of the Colosseum.
