In ancient times, the Colosseum hosted thousands of spectators who watched slaves, condemned criminals, and wild animals fight to the death.
Italy recently unveiled a $12-million project to install a new retractable floor in Rome’s Colosseum that will restore the amphitheatre to its gladiator-era glory.
In Roman times, the Colosseum hosted savage fights between gladiators as well as condemned criminals, enslaved men, and wild animals. The fighters and animals appeared from a labyrinth of secret tunnels beneath the arena’s floor before battling it out to the death.
She added that after the renovation, the Colosseum will host concerts and theatre productions on the new floor.
Italian officials reportedly said they hope to complete the renovation by 2023. Meanwhile, architects are welcome to send their designs for the project – the deadline is 1 February.
