Flavian Amphitheatre
Colosseum in Rome
The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian
Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo, is
an oval amphitheatrein the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine, tuff, and
brick-faced concrete, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated
just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD
72, and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus. Further
modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are
known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its
association with their family name (Flavius).
