Notes

The name 'Colosseum' strictly refers to the Flavian Amphitheatre in Rome. Nearby the apmhitheatre was a Colossus, or enormous statue, of the Emperor Nero, and it has long been accepted that the Colosseum gained its name from its proximity to this statue.

Amphitheatres were common in classical times, being particularly associated with the Romans. They are best known for Gladiator fights, but were used for many forms of public entertainment. They have been found in France, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain and Northern Africa.
