The Romans had huge Architectural feats.  They had the Coliseum which was there best.  It could seat 50,000 people and was built in 72 AD.  There are eight walls that hold up the Coliseum and its passages.  Today the Coliseum isn’t all in one piece.  Over time the coliseum has eroded and has fallen apart.  It is now a home to tourism.  When the Christian religion came into Rome the Coliseum became a place for Christian martyrdom.  Martyrdom means death or punishment.  The Coliseum was a place to kill the people that did not believe in the Christian religion.  They would kill people by putting a lion into the ring with a man.  The stadium would be full with Romans who would watch this.  The lion would chase the man until it would eat him and then everyone in the stadium would leave at the end and cheer.
