Conquering Rome

This was our last day of our Honeymoon and we spent it touring the Colosseum. When we arrived, the sun was exploding behind the arches. Before too long, the clouds had rolled in and began to rain all over. We had a fabulous time. Now we're back... reality is stark, let me tell you!

 

About: The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire, built of concrete and stone. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. Construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus.
