What can the construction of the colosseum teach us about roman government and politcs?

The Roman Colosseum, or Flavian Amphitheater, plays on all of our feelings and ideas of Rome itself - so much so, that we have essentially abandoned the actual name of it in favor of something more pleasing to the ear. No word speaks of majesty, power, and cruelty all wound into a single entity like "Colosseum" It elicits ideas of roaring crowds in a giant man made structure, and men fighting for their lives in mortal combat for a jeering crowd. Movies have been made out of the history of the Colosseum, poems have been written about it, and all styles of books have been published about aspects that have gone into it.
