Rome's largest amphitheater, the Colosseum has long been a symbol of Roman civilization. This model, which is part of UCLA's Rome Reborn project, presents all the known details of the building, inside and out. It depicts the evolution of the building from its opening in 80 A.D. until the last gladiatorial combats were held here in the early fifth century.
