The Coliseum had a capacity of 55,000 people, who were seated according
to rank. They even had a huge sailcloth awning for protection against
the weather. Next to the Coliseum, the Arco di Costantino (Costantine's
Arch, 315 a.C.) was erected in order to celebrate the victory of
Costantino against Emperor Massenzio at Ponte Milvio (Milvius Bridge).
Not to be missed: Interior of the Coliseum. A small entrance
fee is charged.
