Yes. The facades of the first three floors had 80 arches. The general public gained access to the seating through 74 numbered arches; 12 arches were reserved for the senators. The other 4 arches gave access to two boxes. One was for the emperor, the consuls and the vestal priestesses. The others were for the urban prefects and other dignitaries.

No, the weight of the Colosseum's seating was not carried on arches. The seating area was supported by a system of barrel vaults and piers. The arches in the Colosseum were mainly used for entrances, exits, and to support the outer facade of the structure.

Where did pointed arches in architecture originate?

They orientated from Gothic Architecture and Design. Pointed arches were used in Gothic architecture to help support the weight of vaulted ceilings. Rounded arches previously used could not support the increased height, width and weight of new building designs. The concept of the pointed arch operates in a similar manner as two leaning objects. Two sides of a pointed arch lean against each other for support and the increased force and loads placed on the arches from the ceiling is displaced onto the flying buttresses, which are supported by the ground. The increased roof support provided by the pointed arches allowed building walls to be thinner. Decorative details seen on arches were a natural consequence of Gothic design.
