Yesterday we went to the Colosseum. It is a old building that gladiators fought in. Gladiators were people that were usually slaves who were forced into the colosseum to joust, fight wild animals, and sword fight sometimes to the death to entertain the crowd. I think it was a bad idea of the leaders to entertain by killing others.
The colosseum was about 2 football fields long, over 150 feet tall, and 50,000 people could fit in the stands! It was also built out of concrete about 2,000 years ago. Part of it is rubble now.
