    Once used for brutal fights and entertainment purposes the Colosseum is a Roman Amphitheater built of stone and concrete in the first century; located just east of the Roman Forum. It is known for its oval shape with 3 stories of arches, 80 to be exact. Each story has different orders in the bottom being Doric style followed by Ionic then lastly top it off Corinthian. The seating capacity of the Amphitheater is 50,000 formerly with an adjustable awnings. There are two passageways encircling it with ramps from the seating areas, so getting in and out was not an issue. If you want to renovate the structure you can make it to an outdoor theater or a field. And if you choose not to renovate it it’s still one of the most famous structures in the world so everyone would admire and be interested in it.
