Colosseum and Imperial Rome tour includes the visit of the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire, the Colosseum. It is also known by the name of “Flavian Amphitheater”. It was completed in 80 A.D. under Emperor Titus, and here up to 80,000 people at a time would meet to see gladiatorial fights and wild animals hunting from all over the Roman Empire. Furthermore, it was also a place for public executions. The Colosseum was equipped with movable special effects and trees, which provided a dynamic set for the different shows, and created the right atmosphere to reenact historical battles fought by the Roman Empire around the known world. According to an ancient prophecy, so long as the Colosseum stands Rome will continue to be.
