Although desecrating in memoriam, and paling in comparison to, the Temple, with which material it was built. It is a bit revolting to think and compare what went inside the holy temple walls and what went within the colosseum's, so tbat it makes for a poor and sad mediocre thing, if a construction marvel. To glorify it is to exalt a pretty prison or torture chamber, worse yet, because it was for fun. For fun!
