It was like a tribute to violence and as well as the Gods. Not only the building itself was tribute, but also the ceremonies taking place within the Colosseum. During the first day, about 5,000 animals were brought to the Colosseum to be slaughtered as a sacrifice to the Gods. The idea of violence assimilated their society and culture the same way a Colusseum brings the people. The architecture that was used to build it together was also a form of science. It encourages people to expand their minds beyond small houses and shows other architects what is possible with physics. This building illustrates one of the Romans most famous inventions – concrete.
