    The Colosseum
    The Colosseum in Rome is still revered today as a marvel of Roman engineering. It took
    eight years to build. The project was started by the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD. The
    many arches used in its construction made it strong without being too heavy. Despite
    the passage of time and multiple earthquakes, much of it can still be seen today. It is
    enormous: 615 feet long and 510 feet wide. It covered six acres of land, and required
    more than 1.1 million tons of concrete, stone, and brick to complete.
    In its time, this outdoor stadium could seat 50,000 people and was the site of gladiator
    games, mock battles, and dramas. There were 76 ways to enter and exit the Colosseum.
    Public entrance was by ticket that indicated where each spectator should sit. The
    Colosseum had four different levels, and seating was dictated by social class and
    enforced by law. The Emperor sat in his own box. The Senators sat in the lowest seats,
    those closest to the action. Equestrians and government officials of significant rank
    sat behind them and a bit farther up. Higher up still were ordinary Roman men and
    soldiers. The highest seats were for women and slaves. Former gladiators, actors, and
    gravediggers were prohibited from entering the Colosseum at all.
    A retractable awning called the velarium was used when needed to keep the sun and
    rain off of the spectators. The velarium was supported by 240 wooden masts around
    the top of the stadium and put up by Roman sailors as needed.
    Underneath the Colosseum there was a labyrinth of underground passages called the
    hypogeum. The Colosseum’s floor was made of wood and covered with sand. Thirty-two
    different trap doors leading up from the hypogeum were used to suddenly insert
    animals, actors, or gladiators into the arena for dramatic effect.

    1. How long did it take to build the Colosseum?


    A. six years B. eight years C. seventy-two years
    2. What was the Colosseum made of?
    A. stone and brick B. concrete and stone C. concrete, stone and brick
    3. Seating in the Colosseum was dictated by ………………….
    A. law B. social class C. law and social class
    4. Next to the Emperor’s Box, who had the best seats in the Colosseum?
    A. Senators B. Roman soldiers C. government officials
    5. The labyrinth of underground passages was called the ………………….
    A. velarium B. Emperor’s Box C. hypogeum
