Information about Rome (Capital city of Italy) :

Chances are that the house was packed for Trajan's celebration of his Dacian victories, when 10,000 gladiators and 11,000 beasts duked it out for a month. Over the centuries, it wasn't only gladiator fights that filled the arena: in the mornings, as a warm-up for the evening's battles, exotic animal hunts were a huge draw - the idea of two Romans stalking a hippopotamus was enough to get bloodthirsty teens out of bed and over to the Colosseum. It's also said that the elliptical interior was flooded for sea battles, although some archaeologists and native Romans insist that it wouldn't have been possible, citing the Circus Maximus as the more probable locale. Gladiatorial games were suspended in 438 by a Christian-dominated empry and Senate, and animal hunts soon bit the dust as well. The Colosseum was used briefly as a fortress in the Middle Ages and as a quarry in the Renaissance, when popes, beginning with Urban VIII, pillaged marble for use in their own grandiose enterprises, including St. Peter's Basilica and Palazzo Barberini. The former pagan symbol became the site of Christian liturgical rites in the 17th and 18th centuries, and a chapel and rows of crosses were eventually built on the north end of the hollowed-out amphitheater. The crosses were removed in the 19th century when excavations started on the Colosseum, leaving the structure, with the exception of the ongoing exterior renovations, as it is today.
