This iconic 3-tiered amphitheater opened in 80 AD is a monument to Christian persecution once used for gladiator games. There are many awe inspiring artefacts around the Colosseum complex - a more insignificant but nonetheless curious remain is the Ludus Magnus, where gladiator training center was conducted - that street also has many gay bars and restaurants. #flavian #amphitheater #colosseo #colosseum #rome #italy #travel #wanderlust #curioushumanics #martyrs #history #ancienthistory #historicalbuilding
