@OtherJayGeller Putting on a set of noise cancelling headphones when you take your seat seems negates this problem.

@AntigoneJournal When I was about 12 or 13 years old, C.H.V. Sutherland, Roman Coins (London: Barrie and Jenkins, 1974), then kept on going on past that (primary texts in translation, history books, etc.).

The Colosseum has 80 entrance arches and it could accommodate around 87,000 spectators with tiered seating all the way around. It's the biggest amphitheater in the world: 189 meters long, 156 meters wide and 50 meters tall.

It has been estimated that ancient Romans used around 100,000 cubic meters of marble, transported in 200 bullock carts to the building site. They also used 1.1 million tons of concrete, stone and brick. To build the Colosseum today, it would cost 750 million dollars.
