The Rise & Fall of the Colosseum

Directed by Peter Chinn, Bianca Zamfira and Ben Holgate

With Jay O. Sanders, Francesca Angelo, Darius Arya, Fabian Kanz and Shushma Malik

The Colosseum: the jewel of Ancient Rome. It wowed vast crowds with extraordinary battles. It pushed the boundaries of technology. It exhibited Rome’s vast wealth and power. Roman leaders spread the Colosseum’s design throughout the Empire, and it helped them conquer the ancient world. But just as the structure embodied Rome’s power, so too did it contribute to the Empire’s downfall.
