We feel the impact of the Colosseum in modern society today. The same principles used to construct the Colosseum are used to construct most modern sports arenas today. More importantly, the Romans did a few things better than we do now.- The events were free, all day, and included food and drinks.
- The Colosseum was covered with only a small hole for the sun to come in.
- The hole for the sun to come in was dynamically adjusted during the day to keep the sun directly on the arena and not on the crowd. (To the best of my knowledge no modern stadiums do this.)
The Colosseum was originally constructed almost 2000 years ago in 70 AD.
The picture of all three of us was taken by a family from Texas.
