Colosseum (1:1) Java and Bedrock!

The Colosseum or Flavian Amphitheatre as it could have looked like between the modifications made by Domitian at the end of the first century and the destructive fire in 217. I have never shared a build before so I hope the download works. Have fun exploring this (im)famous yet very intriguing venue, and let me know what you think of it!

See what it was like to sit in the emperor's box and the elite front rows where the senators sat, or walk the many stairs and corridors all the way to the upper gallery (maenianum summum in ligneis) from which the enslaved, the peasants, and the women had to watch the games on wooden benches. Discover the complex substructures filled with elevators, trapdoors, and cages containing exotic animals, all designed to guarantee the spectacle of the games.

The map received a big update on 5 June 2025. The andesite version of the Colosseum is no longer available as a download but I could add it again if it is requested.
