Unveil Rome's iconic architectural feat
Unveil Rome's iconic architectural feat engineered by Emperor Vespasian in 70 AD specifically for staging lavish bloody spectacles and entertainment for the masses. Step back with us through the bold arches of this mammoth stone amphitheater as we explore the hidden backstage world that housed exotic animals, trained gladiator troops, and elaborate machinery to stage public executions and full theatrical reenactments on an unprecedented scale.
Learn how design innovations like vaulted passageways named "vomitoria" rapidly cycled 50,000 cheering spectators in and out. Descend into the underground tunnels preparing Pyrrhic shows of choreographed violence by prisoners, professional fighters and beasts that quenched society’s darker impulses. Evaluate Rome’s striking complexities, grand vision that produced engineering marvels alongside cruel regime oppression on display around mortality and oppression across the Colosseum’s stage carved out from the lavish Golden House palace compound built by the notoriously self-aggrandizing Nero.
