The Colosseum was made of Roman cement, iron fittings, bricks, with a marble facade. The Romans invented cement and used it liberally through out the empire. This allowed them to have multistory apartments, arenas, ports, malls, water sytems, sewers, and monuments. Along with discovering the load baring arch and the dome they were able to build things we see today. The Colosseum has gone through various stages through the ages. Horses were kept there at one point, it has been a garbage dump, looted for iron fittings and bricks, allowed to fall apart. Today there is a valent effort to keep it intact. The Roman smog is eating away some of the ruins as it sits in the center of a huge four lane traffic circle.
