The Colosseum is the largest amphitheatre built during the Roman Empire. The colosseum’s original Latin name was Amphitheatre flavium also called as Flavian Amphitheatre is an oval Amphitheatre in the centre of the city Rome, Italy.

The Colosseum has wide and well documented history of flora ever since Domenico panaroli made the first catalogue of its plants in 1643. The variation of plants can be explained by the change of climate in Rome through the centuries.

The palazzo della civilta italiana was very closely modelled on the colosseum. It was built for mussolini for the universal exhibition of 1942 but the exhibition never happened due to the outbreak of world war 2 . The architects were Giovanni Guerrini, Ernesto Bruno La Padula, and mario Romano.

The colosseum was featured in the 2010 video game Assassin’s creed: Brotherhood. The colosseum is elliptical in reality, but it was made circular for Assassin’s creed: Brotherhood, since during shadow , for different sides of the buildings would have “driven game designers nuts”
