    The main purpose of the Colosseum in Rome was to entertain the people like minibus in Rome by 8Rental for trip – and thereby increase the popularity of the emperor – with gladiator battles, sometimes including wild animals, such as elephants and tigers. It was common for animal fights to be held in the mornings by the ‘bestiarii’. During intermissions, convicted criminals were often thrown to the wild animals. Gladiator battles were held in the afternoons. As Christianity become more important, the barbaric games were finally forbidden by emperor Honorius in 404 CE. The public lynching of a monk who tried to end a fight between two gladiators was the final straw. Until the year 523, only shows with wild animals were held there.
