ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Two renowned classical historians tell the story of Rome's greatest amphitheater, a monument visited by two million people every year.

Imperial Rome was a warrior state. The Colosseum (inaugurated in 80 AD) was Rome's monument to war. Like a cathedral of death, it towered over the city, inviting its citizens--50,000 at a time--to witness deadly gladiatorial games. Today, it is visited by two million people a year (Hitler was among them).

How it was built; the gladiatorial games and other events held there; the training of gladiators; the spectators who enjoyed the games, the emperors who organized them, and the critics; and its strange later history: the Colosseum has served as a fortress, a warehouse, a church, and even a glue factory.
