A night view of the Roman Colosseum. The Colosseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81–96). The name Amphitheatrum Flavium derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name. Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine. Although in the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and still has close connections with the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit Way of the Cross procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum. The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colosseum Una vista di notte del Colosseum romano. Il Colosseo, originale il Anfiteatro Flavio, è un amphitheatre ellittico nel centro della città di Roma, Italia, il più grande costruita mai nell'impero romano.

Occupando un luogo appena ad est della tribuna romana, la relativa costruzione ha cominciato fra l'ANNUNCIO 70 e 72 sotto l'imperatore Vespasian ed è stata completata in ANNUNCIO 80 sotto Titus, con ulteriori modifiche che sono fatte durante il Domitian' regno di s (81-96).

Now and ever
Made by Teobius
In a man's life, his time is but a moment, his being a mere flux, his senses a dim glimpse, his body food for the worms, and his soul a restless eddy … the things of the body pass like a flowing stream; life is a brief sojourn, and one's mark in this world is soon forgotten. (Emperor Marcus Aurelius) These bitter and humble words aren't something you'd expect to hear from a great emperor that ruled over the known world. But Marcus Aurelius was also a stoic and introspective philosopher and believed that human life wasn't but an accident. I see his point (although i'm much happier than him!), but one thing is for sure: despite this poem, he and his people left a great mark in human history. And i'm not merely talking of the monuments, but of some of the greatest achievement of civilization, such as the rule of law and the foundations of the western civilization as a whole. Thus the Colosseum is standing there since 2000 years ago. The man who pulled the stone block up to the fourth ring is long dead, but the block is still there as a part of this amazing heritage.

Colosseum by night
Made by Stephan Neven
The Colosseum is one of the 7 New Wonders of the World. The Colosseum, or Flavian Amphitheatre as it is officially named, is an elliptic amphitheatre in the centre of Rome, Italy. It is regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the Roman empire. Building started between 70 and 72, under command of emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 under command of emperor Titus. It's capable of seating 50,000 spectators and was used for gladatorial contests and other public spectacles. Through the years, the building has suffered from earthquakes, tourism (stone-robbers), and erosion. The interior is also damaged. The floor of the theatre has been removed, showing the cages and rooms below the floor for the animals and gladiators.
Rhythm of Life
Made by Rickydavid
[...] The modern age has been characterized by a Promethean spirit, a restless energy that preys on speed records and shortcuts, unmindful of the past, uncaring of the future, existing only for the moment and the quick fix. The earthly rhythms that characterize a more pastoral way of life have been shunted aside to make room for the fast track of an urbanized existence. Lost in a sea of perpetual technological transition, modern man and woman find themselves increasingly alienated from the ecological choreography of the planet [...] -- Quote by Jeremy Rifkin Nikon D70, Tokina 12-24 f/4, 12mm - f/10 - 2s.

Il ritorno di Nerone a Roma
Made by ipaloni
The return of Nero For three days (17-19 September) high flames broke out in a symbolic monument of Rome, the Colosseum. If it were true it would be one of the greatest disasters contemporaries, but it was only a virtual fire that still left open-mouthed tourists and Romans. The historic arches Flavian amphitheater, as a result of skilful lighting, seem to really catch fire and burn. The installation, one of the most spectacular contemporary art, was financed by Belstaff, the brainchild of Michael and Manuele Malenotti and bears the signature of Thyra Hilden and Pio Diaz, rather known artists on the international scene
Coliseum floor marker
Made by Archer's Eye
The Coliseum is the most ancient monument in Rome. It was opened in 80 A.D., an opening celebrated with 100 days of bloody games during which it is reported nine thousand exotic animals were killed. The North African Elephant and the Caspian Tiger were just two species which were unable to recover from the casualties. The Coliseum hosted thousands of intense gladiator battles where as many as 10,000 people were killed. Prisoners were also held captive in the underground tunnels, and some of their names still be read carved into the stones below.
Lumina and Umbra
Made by Storm Crypt
Taken near the north side of the Colosseum as evening fell. This area is close to where the colossal statue of Nero is, and just across the street to the entrance of Rome's Colosseo MRT station. My last shot of the Colosseum, before taking the subway train. Lumina and Umbra are latin words, which translates to light and shade in English. I originally had the title of Light and Shade -- and just wanted to see something different. The Colosseum - North Side Rome, Italy

The Colosseum, Rome
Made by martin97uk
The ultimate Icon of Rome. Recognised the world over, and images of it are widely used to represent, Rome, Italy and Ancient Romans. It is, of course, the Colosseum; the Ampitheatre where Gladiators fought each other, Christians were fed to the lions (reputedly) and Sea Battles re-enacted!
