In the year 70, the Roman Emperor Vespasian commissioned what would become the world’s largest amphitheater.
Approximately ten years later, it opened to great fanfare and 100 days of games.
No greater amphitheater has ever been built in the nearly 2000 years since its construction.
Learn more about the Flavian Amphitheater, aka the Colosseum, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
