The panoramic image of elliptical amphitheater with windowed boxes and a side bitten out is one of the primary reason why many are drawn to the city of Rome.
There is no other structure that exemplifies the rise and fall of Imperial Rome other than the Colosseo (The Colosseum).
“While the Colosseum stands, Rome shall stand when the Colosseum falls, Rome shall fall when Rome falls, the world shall fall.” – Venerable Bede
