Just in case readers are confused by this: it's not really small.
- buggythebug 4y agoit's a lot smaller in person than how big people think it is
- mdp2021 4y agoThere are plenty of other areas where size may actually matter, and Romans never complained.
- mdp2021 4y agoReplying here with the data about "the worth of its size": -- the very numbers reported here introductorily estimate a maximum of 80,000 capacity for the Colusseum, and -- a search for "size of stadiums" shows that the Wikipedia page starts listing from 40,000 - up to 100,000 to 132,000 for just a dozen constructions, and -- the Colosseum was built between 72 and 80 AD. This must give an idea of the actual worth of the endeavour.
- prox 4y agoAnd the top one in at that list is at 132,000. The Circus Maximus in Rome for Chariot racing could hold over 150,000! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Maximus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Maximus
