The Colosseum in Rome was the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire, seating 50,000 spectators. Constructed in the 1st century AD under Emperors Vespasian and Titus, it hosted gladiatorial fights and executions. Throughout its history, it was damaged by fires, earthquakes, and later used as a quarry for materials like marble and stone for other buildings such as St. Peter's Basilica and the defenses of the Tiber River.
The Colosseum in Rome was built between 70-80 AD under the Roman Emperors Vespasian and Titus. It was an elliptical amphitheater used to host gladiator fights and public spectacles. The Colosseum demonstrated Rome's immense wealth and power through its massive scale and innovative use of arches, vaults, and concrete in its construction. It could hold up to 80,000 spectators and was the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire.
The Colosseum in Rome underwent many changes over time. Originally built under Emperor Vespasian and opened by his son Titus in 80 AD, it could hold up to 70,000 spectators and featured four levels of seating. The social status of spectators determined where they sat, with elites closest to the arena. Made of stone, brick, concrete and wood, it had both an exterior facade with three levels of arches and an underground area to hold gladiators and animals. Over centuries it declined but still stands as one of the most impressive remains of Roman engineering and architecture.
Neoclassical architecture originated in the late 17th century as architects returned to principles of classical Greek and Roman architecture outlined in Renaissance treatises. Neoclassical styles emphasized symmetry, columns, pediments, and domes inspired by structures like the Parthenon and Pantheon. By the late 1700s, Neoclassicism had spread from Europe to the new United States, where founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson incorporated classical ideals into government buildings and homes to symbolize principles of democracy. Famous examples of Neoclassical architecture include the US Capitol, White House, and Jefferson's Monticello estate.
The Colosseum was built in Rome, Italy between 70-72 AD under Emperor Vespasian to host gladiator contests and other entertainments for the public. At 189 meters long and 156 meters wide with a capacity of 50,000 spectators, it was constructed out of stone and concrete. Today, the Colosseum is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions, preserving an iconic landmark from ancient Roman civilization.

The civilization of Ancient Greece emerged into the light of world history in the 8th century BC. Normally it is regarded as coming to an end when Greece fell to the Romans, in 146 BC. However, major Greek, or “Hellenistic”, kingdoms lasted longer than this. As a culture, Greek civilization lasted longer still, continuing right to the end of the ancient world.
Ancient Greek civilization began between the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea in a mountainous region called Hellas. This terrain influenced the development of independent city-states rather than large kingdoms. Two early civilizations, the Minoans and Mycenaeans, preceded ancient Greek civilization. The Archaic period saw the rise of poleis and the spread of Greek culture through colonization. The Classical period was defined by the growth of Athenian democracy and Spartan oligarchy and wars with Persia. The Hellenistic period began with the conquests of Philip and Alexander the Great, spreading Greek culture further and dividing Greece into successor kingdoms.
The document provides an overview of classical Greek architecture, beginning with the origins of post-and-lintel construction in Greek temples and Egyptian hypostyle halls. By the 6th century BCE, stone had replaced wood in important temples, though designs still reflected wooden origins. Greeks adapted to stone's properties by designing temples with towering, spaced columns and solid superstructures. Temple interiors housed cult images rather than being places of worship.
