Dos destacados historiadores cl�sicos cuentan la historia del mayor anfiteatro de Roma, un monumento visitado por dos millones de personas al a�o. La Roma imperial fue un estado guerrero. El Coliseo (inaugurado en el a�o 80 d.C.) fue el monumento de Roma a la guerra. Como una catedral de la muerte, se alzaba sobre la ciudad e invitaba a sus ciudadanos--50,000 a la vez--a presenciar juegos gladiatorios asesinos. Hoy es visitado por dos millones de personas al a�o (Hitler estuvo entre ellos). C�mo se construy�, los juegos gladiatorios y otros eventos que se celebraron all�, el entrenamiento de los gladiadores, los espectadores que disfrutaban de los juegos, los emperadores que los organizaban y los cr�ticos, y su peculiar historia posterior : el Coliseo ha sido fortaleza, almac�n, iglesia y f�brica de pegamento. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Two renowned classical historians tell the story of Rome's greatest amphitheater, a monument visited by two million people every year. Imperial Rome was a warrior state. The Colosseum (inaugurated in 80 AD) was Rome's monument to war. Like a cathedral of death, it towered over the city, inviting its citizens--50,000 at a time--to witness deadly gladiatorial games. Today, it is visited by two million people a year (Hitler was among them). How it was built; the gladiatorial games and other events held there; the training of gladiators; the spectators who enjoyed the games, the emperors who organized them, and the critics; and its strange later history : the Colosseum has served as a fortress, a warehouse, a church, and even a glue factory.
