The Arch of Constantine near the imposing Coliseum or Colosseum (left), in the imperial heart of the Eternal City. The largest triumphal arch in the ancient world celebrates the victory of Emperor Constantine over the usurper Maxentius in the battle of Ponte Milvio (Milvian Bridge), which took place in 312 AD near Rome, along the Tiber river. With its 21 meters high, 25.9 meters wide and 7.9 meters deep, the Arch of Constantine is a compendium of Roman sculpture and history, with depictions and bas-reliefs concerning the gestures of the emperors Hadrian, Trajan and Marcus Aurelius. It was built in masonry and marble along the Way of Triumph, between the Palatine and the Celio hill, placed diagonally to the Coliseum. Originally known as Amphitheatrum Flavium, the Colosseum is the largest amphitheater in the world. Built at the behest of Emperor Vespasian in 70 AD and inaugurated in 80 AD, the Colosseum was able to hold an estimated number of spectators between 50,000 and 87,000. According to tradition, the name of Colosseum is due to a colossal statue of Nero located near the amphitheater. In 1980 the historic center of Rome was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

The Coliseum

Colosseum early in the morning, Rome Italy

The Colosseum, or Coliseum, in Rome, Italy is always an architectural wonder to behold, and pictured here is a perfect example of the amazing design that still stands today. Construction started in 72 A.D. by Vespasian, with modifications added by Titus and Domician, the three Roman Emperors from the Flavian dynasty - hence the structure is also known as the Flavian Amphitheater. Holding up to 80,000 people, the Colosseum was used for gladiator fights, to showcase the Navy with battleships in water, animal hunts, and in later years as apartments. This iconic structure still stands, despite repurposing much of the marble and stone for buildings across Rome. Today it is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the city.
