Where is the oval shaped amphitheater built in 80 AD?

The Colloseum. It was built from A.D. 80- 81. ;)


When was the colleseum in ancient rome built?

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.

What marks the ottoman style of art?

In the arts, there is a paucity of extant objects from the early Ottoman period, but it is apparent from surviving buildings that Byzantine, Mamluk, and Persian traditions were integrated to form a distinctly Ottoman artistic vocabulary. Significant changes came about with the establishment of the new capital in former Byzantine Constantinople. After the conquest, Hagia Sophia, the great Byzantine church, was transformed into an imperial mosque and became a source of inspiration for Ottoman architects. Mehmed II ("the Conqueror," r. 1444-46, 1451-81) envisaged the city as the center of his growing world empire and began an ambitious rebuilding program. He commissioned two palaces (the Old and the New, later Topkapi, palaces) as well as a mosque complex (the Mehmediye, later Fatih complex), which combined religious, educational, social, and commercial functions. In his commissions, Mehmed drew from Turkic, Perso-Islamic, and Byzantine artistic repertoires. He was also interested in developments in western Europe. Ottoman, Iranian, and European artists and scholars flocked to Mehmed's court, making him one of the greatest Renaissance patrons of his time. Under Mehmed's successors, his eclectic style, reflective of the mixed heritage of the Ottomans, was gradually integrated into a uniquely Ottoman artistic vocabulary. Further geographic expansion brought additions to this vocabulary. Most significantly, the victory against the Safavids at a battle in eastern Anatolia (1514) and the addition of Mamluk Syria, Egypt, and the Holy Cities of Islam(Mecca and Medina) to the Ottoman realm under Selim I ("the Grim," r. 1512-20), led to the increased presence of Iranian and Arab artists and intellectuals at the Ottoman court. The reighn of Suleyman (popularly known as "the Magnificent" or "the Lawmaker"), often regarded as a "Golden Age," was defined by geographic expansion, trade, and economic growth, as well as cultural and artistic activity. The age of Süleyman (r. 1520-66) witnessed the zenith of Ottoman art and culture. Among the most outstanding achievements of this period were the mosques and religious complexes built by Sinan (1539-1588), one of the most celebrated Islamic architects. Hundreds of public buildings were designed and constructed throughout the Ottoman empire, contributing to the dissemination of Ottoman culture. In the period following Süleyman's death, architectural and artistic activity resumed under patrons from the imperial family and the ruling elite. Commissions continued outside the imperial capital, with many pious foundations established across the realm.During the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, developments occurred in every artistic feild, with those in architecture, calligraphy, manuscript painting, textiles, and ceramics being particularly significant. Apart from Istanbul, various cities in the provinces were also recognized as major artistic and commercial centers: Iznik was renowned for ceramics, Bursa for silks and textiles, Cairo for the production of carpets, and Baghdad for the arts of the book. Ottoman visual culture had an impact in the different regions it ruled. Despite local variations, the legacy of the sixteenth-century Ottoman artistic tradition can still be seen in monuments from the Balkans to the Caucasus, from Algeria to Baghdad, and from Crimea to Yemen, that incorporate signature elements such as hemispherical domes, slender pencil-shaped minarets, and enclosed courts with domed porticoes. Enjoy! have a lot of knowlege about art! :D
