This is How the Colosseum Looked in Roman Times

What is your favorite ancient Roman building?

thank you soo much awesome job Manuel

Very interesting! Thank you!

I must admit that you show and describe brilliant material, thank you.

Thankyou for considerable insight to the Colosseum, I have always wanted to see it in finer detail....😊😊😊😊😊 new subscriber 🎉

And now it’s garbage.

I didn't care for your video.

I find it mind-boggling that these elaborate structures could have been built without any kind of modern equipment If I could only go back in time and witness the construction of these buildings.

The artificial lake was pretty impressive itself It's a shame that it was erased.

Excellence. Thank you.

The opening of this video would be beautiful opening to gladiator 2

Where are the Colosseum awnings?

FAST FORWARD ... Take for example the Houston Astrodome for comparison. When you go to a game in Houston, how do you find your seat ? Simple, you go to your assigned section and assigned seating. At the Colosseum, each section is numbered on the exterior wall above the entry point. Each section has assigned seating by classification. HOWEVER ... when you go to Houston, you watch a football game. When you went to Rome at the Colosseum, you would watch the gladiators, boat races, animal circus acts, etc. The Colosseum floor was also a ceiling for holding pens, cells, and equipment. In reality, today's facilities pale in comparison to the Colosseum.

Visited the coliseum in 2017. When entering the upper level seating area one gets full of awe at the sheer scale of the place. The view on the outside belies the wonder of its interior size.

Don't overlook the 22 years that it was called the Martini & Rossi Centre. Or the 12 years as the SanPelligrino Auditorium.

Ah yes, the old all white, spotless clean marble columns and facades trope.

My "orders" were not ordered at all until your very detailed description enlightened me. Thanks. your video was very enjoyable to watch as well as very informative.

Win the crowd!

It's amazing how innovative the Romans were yet what they did in that arena was barbaric for humans and animals alike.

Rome deserved it’s downfall. People were cruel and idol worshippers back then.

Grazi Manuel, brava sir ❤

bread and circuses ,

Wow no blacks selling junk outside??!?!

Thank you

What's the name of this peice by Tschaikovsky?

What a great video! Never seen so much passion from a narrator! Amazing job bravo!

Wow, what a shock to see it without homeless Africans, pickpockets and hot dog stalls around it.

thank you for this nice video. I’ve learn a lot. It’s on my bucket list.

This video is amazing thank you so much. Greetings from Portugal😊

😢🥲😭 I am sorry I can't imagine 1 million animals were killed for entertainment 😭🥲😢

i love italy

Great video. Would love to see you cover the city and port of Carthage.

Excellent discourse. Superbly written and presented. 50 years reading and I learned much from this lecture. Thank you. Made my day. Great work.

Opening narration is soooo annoying- gravely whisper is hard to gear/understand and viscerally irritating and ugly . Wtf!

Manuel! Buen hecho, amigo mio!

Various well preserved structures in Pompei come to mind. Often I got the feeling I was trespassing in someone's home when there.

It was also built by Jewish slaves...

Nice

And all that beautiful violence and bodies bleeding out in the coliseum….we who about to die salute you!

Si señor

The floor of the Colosseum was so saturated with blood that during warm weather it started to smell.

To fix this the Romans discovered a certain type of clay that was only available from Spain which they imported to cover the Colosseum floor on a regular basis.

They needed this clay in abundance, so a clay importation industry was born.

They should pull the disgusting eyesore down

Christianity ruined everything. Truly was the downfall of Classical Europe.

Rome is without a doubt one of the greatest cities in the world

How they were so advanced in terms of architecture, politics, law, knowledge in the classic antiquity period amazes me. Especially when you see how the early middle ages seemed like a return to a lower degree of knowledge and education. The barbarians and the Goths set the world back 500 years with their destruction.

You sound like a young, sophisticated Duck.

Since the Coliseum times Italians haven't built anything. They are just fixing. But to restore the original Coliseum is out of question.
