We go back to ancient Rome to take a look at the history of the Colosseum. We will learn about the importance of its location, how it was constructed and its use in Roman times and later ages.

It will answer questions like how old is the Colosseum? What is the Colosseum made of? Why is the Colosseum important? How long did it take to build the Colosseum?
