There is only one Colosseum and it is in the city of Rome. It is an amphitheatre, an arena for gladiatorial games. It was the largest amphitheatre in the whole Roman Empire. It could seat 50,000 people. Colosseum was not its actual name. It was Flavian Amphitheatre. It is thought that the nickname Colosseum came from a nearby giant statue of Nero which was named after the Colossus of Rhodes.
