Colosseum - Nicholas Von Busch - Blog 10


     Constructed around 70 AD, the Colosseum is considered one of the seven wonders of the world. It's well known for holding gladiator battles and chariot races. One thing that has been considered to have taken place is ship battle rehearsals by flooding the arena. It could hold up to 80,000 spectators during the games. Titus Vespasian was the one who had it constructed for the ancient world. I hope to someday visit this ancient wonder of the world like my grandparents have, once I've graduated from OU.
