Which of these Roman amphitheatres is the largest ever built?
Correct answer: Colosseum
jilly
the mighty Colosseum. went to Rome for a day off a cruiser. Almost cried when I saw it , stunning.

I was very privileged to tour Italy and saw the colosseum. It was very impressive. I was struck by the fact that there are apartments very close that you can sit on your balcony and look at the colosseum. Imagine having morning coffee and seeing that.

I visited the third biggest coliseum in the world, it is located in El Jem, Tunisia. It is well preserved... Beautiful too, but this buildings have dark history, we should never forget that hundreds of thousands people and animals was slaughtered there by Romans.

Well, don't feed me to the lion's, yet. I got that one right!

But it is not called the Colosseum because of it's colossal size. It's because there was a huge statue of Nero, called the Colossus, right beside it. It is one of the most magnificent buildings I have ever seen!

Cinnaminny2009, There are things happening round the world today that are 1000 times worse. in the days of the original use of the Coliseum, that was life and entertainment as they were used to. You are judging those times, by modern standards. Nowadays examples of barbaric incidents revolt all conscientious and right minded people.

Player #6532678, Some people are inconsiderate, corrupt, and inhumane. Anyone who hurts anyone or anything for pleasure is sick and evil.

Player #3532789, That is awesome thanks for letting us know. Love that they use it for something so special and amazing.

Despicable that one of their entertainments was to dress Christians in bloody animals' skins and turn out the lions which were kept hungry for the event, the spectacle.

The Arena di Verona is still used for opera. It’s also in amazing shape. (Arena means sand in Italian and Spanish- it was used to soak up the blood!)

Debinski, about a parking issue, my husband and I went to the 1st Ontario (CA) 500 and tried to leave a little early to beat the crowds. We couldn't find our car amidst the thousands and didn't get out of there until after dark. But we did miss the crowds hahaha🤣😂

the English word "Arena" .. comes from the Latin for "sand" .. also arena.. which was used to cover the fighting surface and soak up blood..

Player #6532678, spot on. Violence is practically glorified in 21st century. It brings tears to my eyes to see kids being exposed to cartoons where once cute Peter Rabbit suddenly knows martial arts and is now electrocuting humans for fun

The design of the Colosseum is what modern sports arenas are based off today.

...someone got it in the eye.
Perspective folks. Only the rare few would have the moral insight to get it right. And be prepared to DIE a horrible death if you spoke up about it.
Life is not so simple, is it!?
