Spectacular Coliseum
Once you get right up to it the Flavian Amphitheater is huge, even by the standards of modern olympic stadiums. These pictures hardly do it justice. What stands out beyond its imposing facade is that the ancient engineering is still sturdy and intelligent by modern standards.
We strolled about inside and took a few more photographs. It's still a marvel two thousand years later. Nearby is the Arch of Constantine, built in 313 A.D. of marble with sculptural and architectural elements from other places because of the declining fortunes of Rome at the time. It celebrates Emperor Constatine's victory over Massenzio.
Besides the Coliseum check out other cool spots when in Rome, like The Forum and St. Peter's Basilica.
