Roman Colosseum was an icon of the Roman Empire. The empire included large areas around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia. Slaves built the colosseum as a symbol of Roman military might. What struck me at first sight was its vast size. It is an architectural marvel. It must have been quite a place when gladiators and wild animals fought to death. Gladiators were professional combatants in ancient Rome.
