Answer 1

People of Rome were hungry for a bigger and bolderspectacles.

The Colosseum would give the gladiators apermanentstate of killing field.

And the games will take on a level of carnage, never before seen in Empire history.

The Colosseum was built by the Flavians. It is also called the Roman Colisseum or the Flavian Amphitheatre. In fact, the amphitheatre was its original name. It was built primarily to honor the Flavian dynasty of three Roman emperors. It was a question of a father who was succeeded by his two sons. Each one of the three left their mark on their honorary structure.

The amphitheatre was expected to honor its imperial builders and to entertain the people of ancient Rome. But the entertainment that was held in the amphitheatre tended to be far from light entertainment. In fact, the entertainment activities may have left more than 500,000 people and 1 million animals dead. Entertainment indeed included animal hunts, executions, gladiatorial contests, mock sea battles, public spectacles, and re-enactments of dramas from classical mythology and famous battles.

The names 'Coliseum' and Colosseum' mistakenly were applied to the amphitheatre. Originally, there was a nearby colossal statue of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus [December 15, 37 - June 9, 1968]. It was called the 'coliseus'. Ultimately, it fell to pieces. But the term remained, to be applied to the amphitheater.
The Colosseum and other buildings were built to memorialize the Flavian dynasty.
