The oval shape of the building is concise, clear and seamless, with no beginning and no end; The appearance is gorgeous, the high facade is divided into four layers, and Dolique-style, Ionian-style and Corinthian-style columns are adopted from bottom to top. [Edit this paragraph] It introduces in detail that Italy and Rome, as a world-famous ancient city, is the Colosseum symbolizing the ancient Roman Empire. Although there are only some ruins left in the Colosseum, it is a symbol of ancient Roman history. At first, ancient Rome was just a city-state in Italy, and later Rome began to expand outward. In the second century BC, it became a very powerful slavery empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa. The Romans' favorite entertainment was to sit on the sidelines and watch the bloody battle scenes. A large number of gladiators were driven to the arena to kill each other or fight with wild animals, while bloodthirsty aristocratic slave owners got a savage pleasure from the bloody sacrifice of gladiators.
Although the architect of the Colosseum in Rome is still a mystery, we have to admire him for creating one of the greatest stadiums in history-its scale and functional design make it a model for all similar buildings. According to historical records, it can accommodate an astonishing 87,000 people. The outer wall of the Colosseum shows the arch, one of the greatest architectural inventions of the Romans, and the English word "architect" of the architect is derived from the English word "arch" of the arch. However, what makes the Colosseum an epoch-making building? The huge canopy supported by 240 columns can protect the audience from the wind and rain. There are 1000 sailors stationed in Rome to build awnings. In the Colosseum, sometimes spectacular naval performances are performed on a stage filled with water. In addition, there are fighting competitions. One night in BC 160, the playwright Terrence's comedy was interrupted during the performance, because there was a rumor that a fighting competition was about to start, and all the audience rushed out and went straight to the Colosseum. Nothing can beat the excitement and excitement brought by animals and people killing each other. In the 8th century, Bede once lamented, "The Colosseum in Rome stands, and so does Rome; The Colosseum fell, and Rome fell. "
Supplement: [Edit this paragraph] The Colosseum in Rome, Italy was built in 72 AD, with a height of 48 meters and an area of 6.5438+0.6 million square meters. It is the burial place of countless animals, soldiers and prisoners. Before the opening ceremony 100 days, 9,000 wild animals died and about 500,000 lives were sent to the show.
The world-famous Colosseum or Colosseum in Rome is actually in ruins. If it weren't for the endless stream of tourists coming in and out, a person standing under the towering broken wall would be afraid: who knows if this guy who has stood for thousands of years will collapse and be buried under the rubble?
The Colosseum, whose real name is "flavio Colosseum", was built by Emperor Weiss maliano in 72 AD and completed by their son Emperor Tito in 80 AD. It can be said that there is not a page in Roman history that has nothing to do with the Colosseum. It just evolved into a symbol of Roman life and Roman needs. In the eighth century, Father Beida predicted that "where there is the Colosseum, there is Rome; The day when the Colosseum collapsed was the time when Rome fell; When Rome dies, the world dies. " In A.D. 1084, the Germans invaded Rome, and Rome was looted and the Colosseum was abandoned. It once became the source of people digging marble to find building materials. This part fulfilled Father Beida's prophecy. But Rome still exists, the world has not died, and history has turned a new chapter. The feudal emperors who built this behemoth would never have thought that today's Colosseum attracts thousands of tourists every day and brings huge income to future generations. It can be said that there is a show when not in use.
The overall structure of the Colosseum is a bit like today's stadium. Perhaps the design concept of modern stadiums originated from the Colosseum in ancient Rome.
The Colosseum is oval, with the major diameter187m and the minor diameter155m. From the periphery, the whole building is divided into four floors, and the lower three floors are multi-arch buildings, and each arch is supported by stone pillars on both sides. The fourth floor is wall decoration, with four big arches facing four radii, which is the entrance to the gallery inside the Colosseum. The stands of the Colosseum are divided into four groups from low to high, and the seats of the audience are divided according to their grades and status. On the internal restoration map of the Colosseum, we can see that the project is huge and spectacular. However, what people can see today is that although the partition wall that supported the stands was worn out, it was very high, large and ingenious, which still made people marvel at the glory of the past.
