About 1950 years ago, Rome attacked other countries, destroyed their cities and took their male people.

Approximately 45 to 60,000 of these slaves were used to build the coliseum.

A large number of these slaves were killed during construction.

The opening ceremony was held by killing 9,000 non-livestock animals.

Groups of women and men were separated in Coliseum.

The position of women was on the fifth floor, which did not have a good view.

The place for women in the coliseum was very insecure and dangerous.

But the position of men was very safe. They sat on rocky platforms.

The Coliseum was the venue for the emperor and the people of Rome to hold meetings and celebrations.

During these celebrations, sometimes 100 days long, they pushed the predatory animals to attack slaves.

The emperor and the people of Rome witnessed these killings and enjoyed them.

During each period of these celebrations, many slaves were killed.

In the days that the celebration was not established, they threw the sympathizers in front of the predatory animals to be eaten alive.

More than one million people were killed in these celebrations. The Coliseum field has been estimated to be over four thousand square meters.

Today, Coliseum is the most popular building in Italy, the symbol of Rome and Roman civilization.

All Romans, Italians and Europeans are proud of this civilization!

Iran, pronounced Eeran NOT Eye-ran...".> Hint: Italy: Eetaly not Eye-taly. Iran has been in the region properly termed 'West Asia' -- not the 'Middle East' for thousand of years. (more...)
