He learned that the Colosseum in Rome could hold up to\u003Cbr>50,000 spectators and was completed in the year 80 AD. The massive arena had a complex system of tunnels underneath the floor where animals and fighters waited before entering the arena. \"The Romans also used a giant canvas awning called a velarium to shade the audience from the sun,\" his teacher explained.
