Description

Drawing of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy showing the caveae. "The design of the Colosseum is a triumph of functional planning. With numerous exits and entrances, it could easily accommodate crowds. Barrel vaulted corridors gave access to tiers of seats laid over them--although most of the seats are gone today. Spectators were seated by rank with the topmost seats, the "chicken coop," available for women and children. An awning originally covered the whole,"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
