Located just east of the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was commissioned around A.D. 70-72 by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty as a gift to the Roman people.
Construction was completed in 80 AD under Emperor Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name.
The Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome.
