On the Occasion of Its Inauguration
Five Thousand Wild Animals and Ten
. Thousand Captives Were Slain In sn
Orgy That Lasted a Hundred Days.
Second only to the Acropolis ut Ath
ens In Interest to the nutiiiuiirlun and
nlKtori.m in his study of ruins of Eu
rope Is the Coliseum at Home. ThLi
historic ediflre was erected during the
reigns of Vespasian and Titus and in
honor of the latter. It is said that 00,
OW Jews were engaged in iu erection
for ten years.'
it was n feudal fortress for u long
time and dually a quarry from which
were built churches nml palaces until
by its cuilsecTutlou ns holy ground on
account of the number of martyrs sujv
posed to have been Immolated there,
further ravages were stopped.
It Is said-to have given seats to 67,
000 spectators and was iungurnted A.
D. SO. the pame year In which Titus
died, on which occasion 8,000 wild au-1
imals and 10,000 captives were slniu. !
The Inauguration lasted 100 days. An
ecclesiastical tradition makes the archi
tect to have been a , Christian, one
Gaudentitis, afterwnrd a martyr.:
This structure was originally called
the Amphitheatrum Fhnium, but since ;
the time of Bebe It has been known as
the Colisoum, probably given it because
of its enormous size. I
The Roman Coliseum' became the
spot where prince and people met to-.
gether to witness those sanguinary ex
hibitions the degrading effect of which ,
on .the Roman character can hardly be
overestimated. The circumference of.
the building is 1,(541 feet.Hie height of
the outer wall Is 157. the length of the '
arena 278 fcct .and its width 177. , It
covers an area of six ncres. r '
It Is only by ascending to the upper
terrace that-the enormous size of th
Coliseum Is fully seen, and by moon
light the effect of size and tnnssiveness
Is much Increased. The ruins nouth of
the Coliseum are supposed to have been
the Vivarium', In which were kept the
wild beasts for the combats.
As a general description of the build
ing the following passage of Gibbon is
said to be perfect. "The outside of the
edifice was Incrusted with marble and
decorated with statues. The slopes of
the vast concave which formed the In
side were tilled and surrounded with
sixty or eighty rows of seats, of mar
ble likewise, covered with cushion?
and capable of receiving with ease
about" SO.OOO spectators. ."Sixty-four
'vomitories' (for by that name the doors
were very aptly distinguished! pourc:!
forth the Immense multitude, and the
entrances, passages and staircases i
were - contrived with such exquisite!
skill that each person, whether of the ,
senatorial, the equestrian or the pie-!
beta n order, arrived at Ills destined
place without trouble or confusion.
Nothing was omitted which In nuy re
spirt could bo subservient to the t-i
venienco and pleasure of the specta
tors. They were protected from the
sun and rain by . an ample canopy, oc
casionally drawn over their heads. The
air was continually refreshed by the
playing of fountains and profusely Im
pregnated by the grateful scent of aro
matics. J .. .
"In the center of th'o edifice the nrena
was strewed with tho fl'vst sand and
successively assumed the most differ
ent forms. At one moment It seemed
to rise out of the earth like tho garden
of the Ilcspevldes, and was afterward
broken into the rocks nnd caverns of
Thrace. Tho subterranean pipes con
voyed an Inexhaustible supply of
