泰特斯皇帝于公元80年开放了巨大的罗马竞技场，可举办100天的比赛，这将震惊读者，使他们了解古罗马人发现的娱乐内容。 超过50,000名尖叫的球迷目睹了角斗士们互相搏斗致死，人们与异国野兽交战，甚至与漂浮在充满水的竞技场地板上的军舰进行模拟海战。 到公元476年，罗马帝国已经沦陷，但罗马竞技场的废墟仍然是举世闻名的难忘时期的地标。

The Emperor Titus opened the enormous Colosseum in AD 80 to host 100 days of games and it will astound readers to learn what the ancient Romans found entertaining. Over 50,000 screaming fans watched gladiators battling each other to the death, men fighting exotic wild beasts, and even mock sea battles with warships floating on an arena floor flooded with water. By AD 476 the Roman Empire had fallen, and yet the ruins of the Colosseum remain a world-famous landmark of an unforgettable time.
