I came to Rome with two thoughts...the Colosseum and Michelangelo's work,but left with 2 words...two weeks-the time needed to do this great city and culture justice.I'll be back.
The Flavin Amphitheater, or The Colosseum(from the word colossus)as we know it, was built on the site where previously Nero had installed a private artificial lake for his royal palace.It was begun by Vespasian and financed by the booty from the Roman victory of the war in Judaea. Construction began in 80 AD.It held 40-60 thousand,depending on the event.The Colosseum stands almost 50 metres tall.
All staff at schools should know and pay homage(my home-boy) to Emperor Vespasian for it was he who was the first emperor to establish an annual salary for teachers.
