= = =4. Summary= While researching the Colosseum, I have learned about the structure, the usage, and the people. The first thing I learned was about the building itself. For example, it took 10 years to make and it's broken off pieces broke off because of earthquakes and stone-stealers. The second thing i learned was about why/how they used it. Specifically, they had animals such as elephants and even ostriches fight! The third thing I learned was about the people. To illustrate, people would get sorted by their rank ;also the Colosseum could hold 50,000 people. All and all, the Colosseum has a lot of interesting facts about the structure, the use, and the people.
