Once capable of seating around 50,000 spectators, the Flavian Amphitheatre (original name of the Coliseum) was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. It was built on a site just east of the Roman Forum, with construction starting between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian with works completed in 80 AD under Titus.
