seeing the Colosseum! This thing is as large and solidly constructed as any modern sports stadium. It had aqueducts bringing water to built-in water fountains and even a tent covering over the top. Apparently wine was not permitted inside. Our guide said it only took 8 years to build. That doesn't seem very long to me considering how enormous the Colosseum is but I guess there was no shortage of slave labor.
