Italian name: Colosseo
The Roman Colosseum or Coliseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was commisioned in AD 72 by Emperor Vespasian. It was completed by his son, Titus, in 80, with later improvements by Domitian.
The Colosseum is located just east of the Roman Forum and was built to a practical design, with its 80 arched entrances allowing easy access to 55,000 spectators, who were seated according to rank. The Coliseum is huge, an ellipse 188m long and 156 wide. Originally 240 masts were attached to stone corbels on the 4th level.
Just outside the Coliseum is theArch of Constantine (Arco di Costantino), a 25m high monument built in AD315 to mark the victory of Constantine over Maxentius at Pons Milvius.
Vespesian ordered the Colosseum to be build on the site of Nero's palace, the Domus Aurea, to dissociate himself from the hated tyrant.
His aim was to gain popularity by staging deadly combats of gladiators and wild animal fights for public viewing. Massacre was on a huge scale: at inaugural games in AD 80, over 9,000 wild animals were killed.
The jungle makes them turn from civilized boys to savage beasts. For example, the boys, especially Ralph and Piggy, immediately attempt to create a system of order on the island, reminiscent of their lives in British society. However, the boys' animal like and primal instincts are brought out by the harshness of the jungle. Examples of this include when the boys kill the pig brutally, when they kill Piggy and Simon in their rage, and when they attempt to kill Ralph. Jack is the ringleader of the brutality, but the majority of the other boys, save Piggy and Ralph, and partially Samneric, become savage as well.

Explanation:
I think this is right, but don't quote me on this.
Esoteric means that only a small number of people know what it means. (Kinda funny now that I look at the situation)
For example,
The debate was esoteric
Which is basically saying,
The debate wasn't able to be understood by many people.
After cars, because the word ends in an s and is plural, you just add an apostrophe after it:
Eight other families cars’ also need to be serviced ahead of ours.
