Roman Colosseum Reimagined
Reimagined in natural stone, Ancient Rome’s most famous archaeological site comes to life in a striking mosaic over four feet in size.
The Colosseum is an ancient Roman amphitheater in the heart of Rome, built in the 1st century AD. It was used for gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, and theatrical performances. Today, over 7 million people a year visit the magnificinet site.
Built between 72 and 80 A.D. under Emperor Vespasian, the Colosseum is an ancient Roman amphitheater located in the heart of Rome. Constructed from stone and concrete, it remains the largest amphitheater in the world. With 80 entrances and seating for around 50,000 spectators, it hosted gladiator battles, wild animal hunts, and even mock naval events. Though damaged over time by earthquakes and looting, the Colosseum endures as a powerful symbol of Roman engineering and draws millions of visitors each year.
This colossal mosaic portrays the Roman Colosseum somewhere between its original construction date of 72 AD and the present-day ruins of the iconic structure. The current state of the colosseum is far more eroded than the one portrayed here, although some years of erosion are suggested in the top left of this reimagined version.
