Flavian emperor Vespasian had this amphitheatre that could accommodate 65,000 spectators built in the year 72 CE. Construction of the Colosseum took eight years and was financed with plunder taken from Jerusalem. The Colosseum, also called the Amphitheatrum Flavium, was opened by emperor Titus with games and festivities that lasted 100 days and cost the lives of 5,000 animals. Emperor Domitian, Titus' successor, later expanded the amphitheatre with an extra storey and a number of spaces underneath the Colosseum. This made the Colosseum the largest amphitheatre in Roman history, and it is considered one of the seven wonders of the world.
