How did the Romans build the Roman colosseum?
The Colosseum was called the Flavian amphitheatre because it was the vision of Emperor Vespasian, first Emperor of the Flavian dynasty. It was the first stadium that was covered. They could pull a huge tent on top with a big hole in the middle for the light. Each arch had a huge statue. The external surface of the colosseum had sheets of pink marble; the same marble that Saint Peter basilica is built!. The reason why is in ruins, it is principally due to the later Romans that used the building material of the colosseums to build villas around Rome until a pope declared whomever would take more building material from the colosseum will be sent to death. The looting stopped! The Colosseum was built with a mixture of concrete, bricks and limestone. Only the base of the building was made of stone, because if the entire building was constructed of stone it would have collapsed under it's own weight. Arches were used extensively in the construction because it is the only effective way of safely supporting the still extreme weight of the building. There were 240 in the external section of the building alone. Of course, the work was all carried out by huge numbers of skilled and unskilled workers - some estimates put half the population of Rome connected in some way with the construction.
