The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo , is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built and is considered one of the greatest works of architecture and engineering ever.
The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 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,having an average audience of some 65,000; it 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.
Although partially ruined because of damage caused by earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and has also links to the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.
The Colosseum's original Latin name was Amphitheatrum Flavium, often anglicized as Flavian Amphitheater. The building was constructed by emperors of the Flavian dynasty, following the reign of Nero. This name is still used in modern English, but generally the structure is better known as the Colosseum. In antiquity, Romans may have referred to the Colosseum by the unofficial name Amphitheatrum Caesareum (with Caesareum an adjective pertaining to the title Caesar), but this name may have been strictly poetic as it was not exclusive to the Colosseum; Vespasian and Titus, builders of the Colosseum, also constructed an amphitheater of the same name in Puteoli (modern Pozzuoli).
The name Colosseum has long been believed to be derived from a colossal statue of Nero nearby[5] (the statue of Nero was named after the Colossus of Rhodes).[citation needed] This statue was later remodeled by Nero's successors into the likeness of Helios (Sol) or Apollo, the sun god, by adding the appropriate solar crown. Nero's head was also replaced several times with the heads of succeeding emperors. Despite its pagan links, the statue remained standing well into the medieval era and was credited with magical powers. It came to be seen as an iconic symbol of the permanence of Rome.
In the 8th century, a famous epigram attributed to the Venerable Bede celebrated the symbolic significance of the statue in a prophecy that is variously quoted: Quamdiu stat Colisæus, stat et Roma; quando cadet colisæus, cadet et Roma; quando cadet Roma, cadet et mundus ("as long as the Colossus stands, so shall Rome; when the Colossus falls, Rome shall fall; when Rome falls, so falls the world"). This is often mistranslated to refer to the Colosseum rather than the Colossus (as in, for instance, Byron's poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage). However, at the time that the Pseudo-Bede wrote, the masculine noun coliseus was applied to the statue rather than to what was still known as the Flavian amphitheatre.
The Colossus did eventually fall, possibly being pulled down to reuse its bronze. By the year 1000 the name "Colosseum" had been coined to refer to the amphitheatre. The statue itself was largely forgotten and only its base survives, situated between the Colosseum and the nearby Temple of Venus and Roma.
The name further evolved to Coliseum during the Middle Ages. In Italy, the amphitheatre is still known as il Colosseo, and other Romance languages have come to use similar forms such as Coloseumul (Romanian), le Colisée (French), el Coliseo (Spanish) and o Coliseu (Portuguese).

Koloseum, izvorno nazvan "Amfiteatar Flavijevaca", je amfiteatar u Rimu. Ime je dobio po kolosalnoj skulpturi cara Nerona koja se nalazila ispred amfiteatra. U Koloseumu su održavane gladijatorske borbe, koje je moglo pratiti 50 000 gledatelja

Engineering Across Continents
Two Years in Madrid and Two Years in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Welcome to the Department of Engineering at Saint Louis University in Spain
The department is home to more than 20 faculty members who form an interconnected network of researchers and industry professionals contributing to the creation of new frontiers of modern science and engineering. Our students and faculty have access to world-renowned educational resources and outstanding lab facilities. In keeping with the Jesuit tradition of promoting the development of the whole person, the Engineering programs include the Core Curriculum of Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology. This Core provides a framework for acquiring a broad foundation of knowledge in the Humanities, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences. At the same time, the Core fosters intellectual inquiry, ethical decision making, and effective communication across the disciplines.

Sharpness Docks jetty.
The riverside entrance to the docks and the Gloucester ship canal is protected by this wooden construction. It reminds me of the little building projects I used to do as a youngster - sticks and crossbeams stuck together somehow so the whole thing stays up.
The scale here is a bit bigger and, like me I guess, has seen better days. If you've ever seen a canal boat or ship get the approach to a lock wrong because of misjudging the fickle currents, you will know that they can hit these guiding jetties with a terrific whallop. Fortunately wood is very flexible and can absorb most of the impact, but you can see the damage caused over time here.
I liked the geometry and the shapes and lines against the sparkling water, so thought it might make a reasonable subject for my 100x monochrome project for last year (#98).
The same image is also the starting point for a bit of Sliders Sunday art-play today so I shall link the in-camera original here as well, in the first comment.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x (2020)

I remember ICI used to be the archetypal Big, Scary Industrial Giant. Haven't heard anything of them for years. Do they even still exist?

1. All developers work out of a ~single source depot; shared infrastructure!
2. A developer can fix bugs anywhere in the source tree.
3. Building a product takes 3 commands ("get, config, make")
4. Uniform coding style guidelines across company
5. Code reviews mandatory for all checkins
6. Pervasive unit testing, written by developers
7. Unit tests run continuously, email sent on failure
8. Powerful tools, shared company-wide
9. Rapid project cycles; developers change projects often; 20% time
10. Peer-driven review process; flat management structure
11. Transparency into projects, code, process, ideas, etc.
12. Dozens of offices around world => hire best people regardless of location

The Clyde Engineering builders plate sits proudly on the short hood of 1204 ) above a slightly worn "Zero Injuries" decal.
Formerly known as A1514 and financed by Western Mining Corporation for the West Australian Government Railway to haul ore trains, this was one of three A Class fitted with dynamic brakes. A1514 was built by Clyde Engineering at Granville in NSW and is presently owned by Genesee & Wyoming Australia (along with sister unit 1203/A1513) for narrow gauge grain haulage out of Port Lincoln.
With the closure of the grain lines from Port Lincoln in mid 2019, the future of 1204 is presently unknown.
In its 22nd year, the Engineering Expo is the college’s premier community outreach event. On average, the college welcomes more than 1,500 K-12 students from Miami-Dade and Broward County schools (elementary, middle, and high school) to the FIU Engineering Center to engage with FIU student organizations, researchers and staff, and to discover the endless possibilities of pursuing a degree in engineering or computing.
