"Disturbing former function a sa theater of slaughter". Gladiators and "bestiarii" (animal fighters) fough to the death, hoping to someday win their freedom, but fewer than 100 men did in its 400 year history.

If there's a long line, just walk around the exterior. Spend no more than 30-45 minutes.

Visit Roman Forum first and walk all the way through it. At the end is the Temple of Venus and Rome . Walk through the Arch of Constantine to get to the Colusseum
