The Colosseum was called the Flavian Amphitheatre when it was built. The name Colosseum would not come to be applied to the building until the end of the 1st millennium A.D. The name derived from an enormous statue of the Emperor Nero right next to the amphitheatre. The statue was known as the Colossus of Nero after the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The name Colosseum gradually came to be applied to that amphitheatre by nature of it's proximity to the Colossus and it's own colossal size.
"Colosseum " is actually a nickname for the Flavian Amphitheater. It got this nickname because of a colossal statue of Nero that was in the square in front of it.
