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 statement that best explains the purpose of the Author of "A Complication or Two" is that "He wants to share something he has learned about life and concludes the narrative with a life lesson." (Option B).
<h3>
What is the background to the story?</h3>
The author the story takes a narrative stance in the first person. He narrates how he was able to navigate milestones in life especially those relating to education and the consequences thereof.
For example, it was while doing his residency at Tri-Valley Hospital that he met his wife.
He narrates that his life would have been altered significantly because he would have been unable to meet his wife if he had accepted the admission letter from the same school that his parents went to - hence the role of fate.
