Rome TRAVEL part VI

It was almost the night closing in, when we decided to head to the meeting point at the Spagnia Square, it is situated at the foot steps of a hill, in the top is a church. We began the descend of the 136 steps to the square, there is several terraces with trees, gardens, and flowers arrangements a really nice for gathering. Once everyone from the group was account for, we took a twenty minutes walk to a restaurant to have dinner.
I am not a picky person, but the breakfast at the hotel was very lousy, it was one piece of bread, coffee, orange juice, and strawberry jelly.
Now is Tuesday, March 12, it was a sunny afternoon after my visit to the Vatican city I was standing in front of this huge construction impressive and magnificent, for most of the people known as the Colosseum. These ruins are well preserved throughout the pass of the years surviving: wars, vandalism, earthquakes, and modifications made to these splendid building. The original name was the Flavian Amphitheater, inaugurated on 80 AD during the reign of Emperor Vesperiano dedicated to his son Titus. These building were known as the Colosseum because a statue of Nero situated next to the building, the statue was of colossal dimensions. As today none of the statue remains.
It has an oval shape over 160 feet high, also has 80 entrances below the respective arches, 76 of the entrances are number, and the other four were entrances for the noble people. These entrances gave easy access and exit to the Colosseum, through several staircases and passages to the four levels inside. Once inside most of the people had seats assigned, the noble man had seats of marble, and wood benches for the lower class.
Outside the façade was made of limestone, brick, and concrete, it has marble in the facing. It has three orders superimposed (Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.)
