The Colosseum could hold 50,000 people; the patrician class sat in the lower tier,while the common people sat in the upper tiers. Gladiators fought either animals or eachother in elaborate games Gladiators became famous and were followed much like sports teams today. Roman sailors were employed to extend tarps to protect the crowds from the sun and rain roman scribes claim the area was filled with water to stage naval battles. A network of passages ran under the arena to provide access to animal cages there's ramps and elevators that lifted the animals to the arena floor. Over a million people and over a million animals have died in the games over the course of 450 years. Over the years, the coloussum has decayed from earthquakes,erosion and citizens taking stones for new buildings.
