La construction du plus grand amphithéâtre de Rome débute en 72 ap. J.C. sur la demande de l'Empereur Vespasien. Ses deux fils, Titus et Domitien poursuivent sa construction qui s'achève en l'an 82. L’édifice s'appelle alors amphithéâtre Flavien, du nom de la dynastie de ces empereurs. Le nom de Colisée n'apparaît qu'au Moyen Age, en référence à la gigantesque statue de Néron de 35 mètres (appelée colosse) situé à côté de l'amphithéâtre. Avec ses 187 mètres de long, 155 mètres de large et 50 mètres de hauteur, le Colisée pouvait probablement accueillir 50 000 spectateurs avides de spectacles tels que les venationes (combats d'animaux sauvages), les munera (combats de gladiateurs) et autres spectacles publics. Pour améliorer le confort, le Colisée était équipé de 70 fontaines à eau et des marchands de nourriture passaient pendant les spectacles. Il est resté en service pendant près de 500 ans, les derniers jeux se prolongeant jusqu'au VIe siècle. Pour l'inauguration du Colisée, Titus donna une naumachie dans le Colisée transformé en bassin reconstituant la bataille navale de Corinthe contre Corcyre. Le bâtiment a finalement cessé d'être utilisé au cours du haut Moyen Âge. Il a plus tard été réutilisé pour des usages variés tels que des habitations, des ateliers d'artisans, le siège d'un ordre religieux, une forteresse, une carrière et un sanctuaire catholique chrétien.
En forme d’œuf, le Colisée présente 4 étages. Les trois premiers sont portés par des colonnes des différents ordres : Dorique (Rez-de-chaussée), Ionique (Premier étage) et Corinthien (Second étage). L'utilisation de ces trois styles montrent les évolutions artistiques connues durant l'antiquité. Cette succession d'arcades n'existent que sur les trois premiers niveaux, le quatrième, postérieur, est un mur plein (une pièce d'architecture que l'on appelle "attique") percé de petites fenêtres rectangulaires au rythme d'une arcade sur deux. L'attique servait à exposer de grands boucliers décoratifs, un peu comme un mur d'exposition. Au sommet, des excroissances encore visibles, permettaient de tendre une toile (le velarium) au-dessus du Colisée pour protéger les spectateurs du soleil. Ce voile était manœuvré par un détachement de marins de la flotte impériale basés à la caserne Castra Misenatium !
Le Colisée utilise plusieurs matériaux. Le principal est le travertin (piliers), le marbre pour des décorations, les murs rayonnants sont en briques ou en tuf, et les voûtes en béton romain. On s'est également servi de métal pour lier les pierres entre elles : pour s'assurer que deux blocs contigüs ne bougent pas on les perçait de deux trous et on y fixait une agrafe. Durant le Moyen-âge ces agrafes furent récupérées et fondues. On peut observer de nos jours sur la quasi-totalité des blocs des trous indiquant les emplacements des anciennes agrafes.
L'espace entre l'amphithéâtre et la façade est fait de deux couloirs circulaires mitoyens par étage. Le nombre de couloirs (vomitorium) permettait de faire sortir les spectateurs en 5 minutes. Chaque classe sociale avait sa tribune et ses couloirs avec leurs propres entrées. Les classes sociales pouvaient donc ne jamais se croiser dans le Colisée. Il existe un couloir spécial derrière le podium interdit au public, une sorte de galerie de service permettant de positionner des archers en charge de la sécurité des spectateurs.
La Cavea (gradins) est fortement dégradée et seule une toute petite partie des gradins a été reconstruite. Les gradins étaient répartis le long de la courbe de l'amphitéâtre. Les sièges les plus proches de l'arène étaient séparés par un mur de 3 mètres de hauteur (le podium), les plus hauts sièges étaient situés à plus de 40 mètres de haut. Les spectateurs étaient assis dans un arrangement hiérarchisé qui reflète la nature rigide et stratifiée de la société romaine. L'empereur était bien sûr tout en bas alors que la plèbe était au sommet. L'arène mesure 83m de long sur 48 m de large. Le sol était un plancher, parfois remplacé par de la brique sur certains endroits. L'arène couvre une vaste structure souterraine appelée « hypogée » (caves d'un bâtiment antique, partie souterraine) qui a été créé après l'inauguration, sous l'empereur Domitien et correspond à nos coulisses modernes. L'hypogée était divisés en 15 couloirs réalisés en brique et en blocs de tuf, bâtis parallèlement à une galerie centrale.
The construction of Rome's largest amphitheater begins in 72 AD. J.C. at the request of Emperor Vespasian. His two sons, Titus and Domitian continue his construction that ends in the year 82. The building is called Flavian Amphitheater, named after the dynasty of these emperors. The name of Colosseum appears only in the Middle Ages, in reference to the gigantic statue of Nero of 35 meters (called colosse) located next to the amphitheater. With its 187 meters long, 155 meters wide and 50 meters high, the Colosseum could probably accommodate 50 000 spectators eager for shows such as venationes (fights of wild animals), munera (gladiator fights) and other shows public. To improve comfort, the Colosseum was equipped with 70 water fountains and food vendors were running during the shows. It remained in service for nearly 500 years, the last games lasting until the sixth century. For the inauguration of the Colosseum, Titus gave a naumachie in the Colosseum transformed into a pool reconstituting the naval battle of Corinth against Corcyra. The building finally ceased to be used during the High Middle Ages. It was later reused for various uses such as dwellings, craftsmen's workshops, the seat of a religious order, a fortress, a quarry and a Christian Catholic sanctuary.
In the shape of an egg, the Coliseum has 4 floors. The first three are carried by columns of different orders: Doric (Ground floor), Ionic (First floor) and Corinthian (Second floor). The use of these three styles show the artistic evolutions known during antiquity. This succession of arcades only exist on the first three levels, the fourth, posterior, is a solid wall (a piece of architecture that we call "Attic") pierced with small rectangular windows to the rhythm of an arcade On two. The attic was used to expose large decorative shields, much like an exhibition wall. At the top, still visible growths, allowed to stretch a canvas (the velarium) above the Colosseum to protect the spectators from the sun. This sail was maneuvered by a detachment of sailors from the imperial fleet based at the Castra Misenatium barracks!
The Colosseum uses several materials. The main one is the travertine (pillars), the marble for decorations, the radiant walls are in brick or tuff, and the vaults in Roman concrete. Metal was also used to bind the stones together: to make sure that two contiguous blocks did not move they were pierced with two holes and a staple attached. During the Middle Ages these staples were recovered and melted. Almost all blocks of holes can be seen today, indicating the locations of the old staples.
The space between the amphitheater and the facade is made of two adjoining circular corridors per floor. The number of corridors (vomitorium) allowed to get the spectators out in 5 minutes. Each social class had its gallery and corridors with their own entrances. Social classes could never cross in the Colosseum. There is a special corridor behind the public banned podium, a kind of service gallery for positioning archers in charge of spectator safety.
The Cavea (bleachers) is heavily degraded and only a very small portion of the bleachers has been rebuilt. The bleachers were distributed along the curve of the amphitheater. The seats closest to the arena were separated by a wall 3 meters high (the podium), the highest seats were located more than 40 meters high. Spectators sat in a hierarchical arrangement that reflected the rigid and stratified nature of Roman society. The emperor was of course at the bottom while the plebs was at the top. The arena is 83m long by 48m wide. The floor was a floor, sometimes replaced by brick on some places. The arena covers a vast underground structure called "hypogeum" (cellars of an ancient building, underground part) that was created after the inauguration, under the emperor Domitian and fits our modern backstage. The hypogeum was divided into 15 corridors made of brick and blocks of tufa, built parallel to a central gallery.

I purchased my first computer in 1985. It was the first revision of the original Macintosh--a Mac Plus. About that time I also began my photography career and was assigned to photograph Apple luminaries. On a couple of occasions I brought along my Mac to be used as a prop and afterwards had the subjects sign the bottom of the case. Signatures seen here include Steve Jobs, Andy Hertzfeld, Mike Boich, Joanne Hoffman, Patti Kenyon, Guy Kawasaki, Larry Keenan and a couple I can't make out. I still have the computer, manuals and discs and could be tempted to sell for the right offer. Scroll down the following link to see computer with Mac team mimicing a characteristic Jobs pose.

Now I'll say straight off that the Asda staff were indeed 'happy to help' so well done to them. Plus the company has successfully managed a run of 70+ home deliveries without mishap which is some achievement in modern Britain. Not last night though!
As time ticked by for our 20.00-22.00 slot we began to speculate if they would pass their previous 22.04 record for a latest ever arrival. So it was a bit of a surprise when the phone never rang because the driver was lost and needed 'talking in' to the delivery address. In fact we were worried that he / she had been in an accident, perhaps hitting a deer or ending up in a ditch.....not uncommon events in the dark of a rural Dorset night.
I picked up the trail this morning. Driving down to the local store seemed the easiest way of sorting things out. Yes, the lady behind the customer service desk was 'happy to help'. She phoned down to her colleague in the Home Delivery / Click and Collect department who rummaged around for a couple of minutes and discovered the missing order still in the freezer / chiller / storage compartments of a delivery van. "Would I like to collect it from the Click and Collect?" "Yes I would"
Moving the car to the C&C point, the 'happy to help' supervisor was waiting. She had no idea what had happened. However, it wasn't a road accident as she said "the first thing I usually hear about when I arrive for work is if there has been an accident the night before. I've heard nothing" She did reveal that the driver, who I won't name, was relatively new and that she would find out later from him what happened. He would be given further "training" especially with regard to contacting customers directly by phone if there was a problem.
Of course the service / delivery charge of a £1 was refunded. Unpacking back at base, a further twist in the tale revealed that we had all the ordered products but with several bonus items - a large bag of Mc Cain's French Fries, 6 medium free-range eggs and Cornish Clotted Cream Ice Cream. No doubt some other customer(s) will have been contacting the 'happy to help' team.
