How did the Romans Trade?
The Colosseum could seat 45,000 spectators. Some
people were not lucky enough to have a seat in the
Colosseum. If you didn't mind standing, the
Colosseum could hold up to 80,000 spectators
The Colosseum is where the ancient
Romans gathered to watch bloody
combat between gladiators, and battles
between men and wild animals. This is
where they threw people to the lions! To
see men being killed was very
entertaining to the ancient Romans. On
occasion, they flooded the Colosseum
with water, to hold naval battles. During
the battles, many competitors died.
The ancient Romans were great builders. They built things
to last. The Colosseum was built of concrete, faced with
stone, as were most amphitheatres. It was built in the
early days of the Roman Empire, around 70 BC. It was
designed to host huge spectacles. Anyone could attend
the events in the Colosseum. (to get in was free).

THE ROMAN AQUEDUCTS
Aqueducts were designed for France to transport water from the source
to the cities so people had fresh water instead of walking to the source
and back, and it was a long way up.
Aqueducts were first started to be built in 312 BC, so they could have
fresh water in Rome and France, the aqueduct drops 1metre every 280
metres in length so the water can flow otherwise if the aqueducts were
completely level, no water would flow down to the cities.
Roman aqueducts used gravity to tansport water to the city because
there is a down force that forces the water down the aqueduct toward
the city to supply water.
DID YOU KNOW?
The French aqueduct “pont du gard” took 35 years to construct “WOW”.
