With a capacity of 50,000 the Coliseum (aka Colosseum) of Rome was the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire. Its construction started in 72 CE under Emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 CE under Titus, with further modifications made from 81–96 CE under Domitian. The Coliseum was erected as a triumphal monument celebrating the victory of the Romans in the Great Jewish Revolt in 70 CE; its construction was funded by treasure seized during the campaign. The inaugural games lasted for a hundred days and included gladiatorial combat, mock naval battles for which the theater was flooded, horse races and chariot races; a reported more than 9,000 wild animals were killed.
The Coliseum is also and was originally known as the Flavian Amphitheater as it was constructed by the Flavian dynasty emperors, after the last Julio-Claudian dynasty emperor Nero. The name "Coliseum" is believed to have been derived from the large Colossus of Nero statue nearby, which was erected by Nero and named after the Colossus of Rhodes. The statue, which Vespasian added a sun-ray crown to and renamed Colossus Solis after the Roman sun god Sol Invictus, was last mentioned in the 4th Century and may have been destroyed during the Sack of Rome in 410; only its base remains today. By the year 1000 "Colosseum" had been coined to refer to the amphitheater, its name further evolving to "Coliseum" in the Middle Ages.
The renovation of the former open-air barn into a state-of-the-art sports medicine facility, made possible by a generous gift from Suzanne and Glenn Youngkin of Great Falls, Virginia, expands the center’s capacity to provide cutting-edge diagnostics and treatment for lameness and other conditions that prevent equine athletes from performing at optimal potential.

This amphitheater was built in the early 1st century AD and is one of the best preserved Roman theatres in Europe. The theatre was open to all Romans and non-Romans alike but there was strict control over social class mixing. Impassible walls were built between the sections to keep the various classes separate during a performance. The elite of Orange society sat on the lowest rows with removable benches and chairs arranged on the floor in front of the stage. The next levels up housed various other classes until finally, at the highest levels stood the prostitutes, homeless, poor, slaves and foreigners. In general the segregated seating arrangement mirrored the social structure of Roman Orange from that time period. The seating capacity of the structure was upwards of around 10,000 people. The theatre wall was richly adorned when it was in use and was as tall as a modern day 10 story building. The roof over the stage was originally constructed of wood but was burned in about 400 AD when the Visigoths defeated the Romans and set it alight. There was a rope and cloth cover built over the demi-sphere, or seating area, to protect the spectators from the elements. The building is still in use to this day and hosts regular productions.

HYPREP’s technical personnel visit the Rümlang Soil and Gravel Washing Plant (ESAR).
In June 2019, UN Environment organized a technical training to build the technical capacity of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) and its technical personnel. From 11 to 21 June 2019, 21 members of HYPREP’s technical personnel received training on the management and assessment of contaminated land. The training included twelve theory modules followed by two days of field-based exercises and site visits to a soil treatment plant and a remediation site.
In 2018, the United Nations Environment Programme began a project to assist HYPREP to manage the clean-up of oil contamination in Ogoniland. Designed in response to a request from the Government, this project comes as an integral part of the United Nations Environment Programme’s continuing support to the Government of Nigeria to clean up the environmental contamination in Nigeria and achieve lasting peace in the region.
