Colosseum

The Colosseum is an element in Tapestry of Nations.

Description
The Colosseum is an ancient Roman arena. During the time of the Roman Empire, gladiators, criminals and Christians would be pitted against dangerous wild animals. In addition, the Colosseum was used to simulate scenes from nature as a backdrop for mythological performances; in some of these, people condemned to death would be killed in ways similar to the deaths in mythology. Today, the Colosseum is partly in ruins and is a landmark of Rome.
