The actual name of this amphitheatre was Flavian Amphitheatre (Amphitheatrum Flavium) because it was built by the emperors of the Flavian dynasty. Colosseum was a nickname.
The date of the beginning of the construction is uncertain and 70 AD, 72 AD, and 75 AD are variously given. It was commissioned by the emperor Vespasian (reigned 69-79 BC) after the defeat of the Jewish Revolt in 70 AD. It was financed with the spoils of that war and built by slaves taken in Jerusalem. It was inaugurated by Vespasian's' son and successor Titus (reigned 79-81 AD) in 80 AD. Titus' brother and successor Domitian (reigned 81-86 AD) made further modifications.
