The Colosseum (from the Latin Colosseus ) or the Flavian Amphitheater (Amphitheatrum Flavium ) amphitheater a monument of architecture of Ancient Rome the most famous and one of the most grandiose buildings of the ancient world that have survived to our time. It is located in Rome in the hollow between the Esquiline Palatine and Tseliev hills.

Construction of the largest amphitheater in the entire ancient world, with a capacity of more than 50 thousand people was conducted for eight years as a collective construction of the emperors of the Flavian dynasty. It began to be built in 72. The amphitheater was consecrated by the emperor Titus. The amphitheater is located on the spot where there was a pond that belonged to the Golden House of Nero.

The history of the Colosseum dates back to the year 68 when the betrayal of the Praetorian Guard and the Senate condemnation forced the Emperor Nero after fourteen years of despotic government rule to commit suicide in a country villa near Rome. The death of Nero led to an eighteen-month civil war that ended in 69. The victory in it was gained by Titus Flavius ​​Vespasian whom today is simply called Vespasian.

Before becoming emperor Vespasian took part in the suppression of the Jewish revolt which began in 66 AD. After this Vespasian together with Titus in the rich eastern provinces collected taxes to put in order public finances upset by Nero and the civil war. They returned to Rome in 71 to celebrate the victory over the Jews.

Becoming emperor Vespasian decided to reconstruct the center of Rome and strengthen his own cult eradicating the memory of his predecessor Nero. The uneasy problem remained unresolved: what to do with the palace of Nero the Golden House as it was called which, together with the adjoining park occupied an area of ​​120 hectares in the center of Rome. Vespasian decided to place the imperial institutions in it and the lake near the house to fall asleep and build an amphitheater designed for the entertainment of the people. This was a well-weighted decision: the construction of the amphitheater of the earth which Nero used was passed on to the people.
