The Colosseum is a historical theater located in Rome, Italy. In the days of the Roman Empire, emperors held public events in it. The Colosseum is an elliptical amphitheater which could seat up to 50,000 audience members, and had a special Emperor's Box from which the king of Rome himself could witness the shows. The Colosseum was used mainly for gladiator tournaments, war reenactments, sea battle plays, and public executions. It also held occasional spectacles such as mock animal hunts, and dramas.
