"The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo) is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and stone, it was the largest amphitheatre of the Roman Empire, and is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. It is the largest amphitheatre in the world.
"The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 70 AD and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
"The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, and was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine."

Een bezoek aan een Roma-kamp: daar kijken we al een hele week naar uit. Maar wanneer puntje bij paaltje komt, krabbelt de organisatie terug: geen tijd, slecht weer, beter een andere dag, … Maar vandaag is ons geduld op. We moeten en zullen het kamp met onze eigen ogen zien.

Just had a few days in Rome. Wow what a historic place. We got real lucky with our hotels location, it was on St Peters Square! Worked out that we trekked approx 30 miles in 3 days. Was bloody hot, 30+ every day. Loads to do and see, we ate out every night, the choice of food is amazing, its is pretty cheap too. Never saw the Pope though.
