Why is the coliseum still important today?

History
1 answer:
atroni [7]2 years ago

Not really a response.

The huge external stones of the Colosseum were fastened together using metal clips rather than cement during construction. The clips were removed from the stone works by "recyclers" when the building went out of use. The exterior is pock pitted with holes as a result.

As a result, gravity is the only factor holding these external walls together.

The Colosseum was also constructed in the first century. It had the most seats available of any sports venue in the world up to the 19th century.

The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Theatre (for the imperial dynasty that oversaw its design and construction), was the greatest structure of its type and entertained many people as a diversion from their daily chores. It was also a clever stroke of imperial propaganda because it was constructed on the site of the Domus Aureus, the unpopular emperor Nero's imperial residence. They filled the pond that had previously been in the garden and the tiny stream that had been diverted to fill this pond in order to construct it. This would later be the reason why one side of the Colosseum collapsed in an earthquake as the soil there was far more loose than under the other part and thus suffered from liquification making the whole underground unstable.

Does the achievements of the romans continue to affect many aspects of our lives today?
spin [16.1K]
The answer is yes, definitely. The Roman empire grew so big that their sphere of influence reached even China (through trade most probably). There are so many achievements that the Roman empire can boast, one of which is none other than achitecture. You may not notice it, but if you look closely you'll see that most of the government's structures and or bank's structures have Greco-Roman touch about them.

And definitely you will notice that there are many Christians here and there -  that's brought to you by the Roman empire who grew so big that when emperor Constatine decided to legalize Christianity, the religion spread like wild fire in the old world! This development still affects us up to now. Where is the pope's seat of power? Is it not in the Vatican, the heart of Rome?
