The Colosseum

Rome, Italy

It was a rainy day.

The Colosseum had assigned seating. Senators had reserved seats while citizens had to get their free ticket (made of stone/wood) at the Colosseum and return it after the event. The ticket had the gate, level and seat number on it. There were separate Arches for different ranks of people and a special arch to carry dead gladiators out.

how is it that romans were able to design structures that still stand after thousands of years and modern design doesn't seem to hold up as well? very interesting.
