Oval in shape, it measures 189m long, 156m wide and 50m high (about the height of a 12 storey building). This ancient sporting arena could easily fit a modern day football pitch inside!<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>4)<\/strong> This brilliant building had <strong>80 entrances<\/strong> and could seat approximately <strong>50,000 spectators<\/strong> who would come to watch sporting events and games.

At the Colosseum&#8217;s major events &#8211; often those organised and paid for by the emperors themselves &#8211; there was no entry fee. And <strong>free food<\/strong> was sometimes served, too.
