The Colosseum says very little about ancient Roman religion. Although the events held there were always preceded by a religious service or dedication, which was customary for Roman events, the Colosseum itself was an entertainment center, not a temple of any kind.

What was the ancient romans most significant contribution to europe?

I would say religion was the ancient Romans' most significant contribution to Europe. Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Later Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.

How many people worked to built the colosseum?

There are no figures available for the number of deaths in the Colosseum. Remember that the Colosseum was used not only for gladiatorial combats, but also for public executions. For example, the ancient writers will say how many pairs of gladiators fought, but never say how many died or survived. The same holds true for the criminals who were executed.

Describe the Roman religion and identify the cultures that influenced the development of this religion?

First of all I am guessing when you say the "Roman religion", you are referring to ancient Rome and not in regards to modern Roman religion which is obviously Catholicism. The Roman religion is one based within the worship of many Gods, each with their own areas of dominance. The supreme deity of these Gods is Jupiter. There are several cultures that influenced the development of the Roman religion. To discuss these cultures we will have to start at the beginning, Zoroastrianism. Now most people will say "Wait, what? That's a monotheistic (one God) religion and Roman religion is Polytheistic (many Gods)". Well yes that's true, although the supreme God of Zoroastrianism is the God of light, Ahura Mazda. This God, passed from word of mouth and various religious texts from Persia, through India and into Greece, where Ahura Mazda was adapted to the supreme God of Greece, Zeus. For now I will generally state that the vast majority of religious Roman influences come from Greece. But like I said we have to start at the beginning. So, we have covered how Zoroastrianism came to Greece, but Greece was also influenced greatly by Egypt. Many Egyptian gods such as Isis have temples in Greek cities, the Temple of Isis at Pompeii for example. Also, the Egyptian God Ptah is closely related to the Greek God Artemis. To recap, Greek religion is greatly influenced by Persian and Egyptian religion, and Roman religion is greatly influenced by this Greek religion. Just a brief summary from a year 12 Ancient History student.
