<br/><br/> Mentioning the Colosseum is certain to summon images of gladiators in bloody battle or exotic animals on display. But there's much more to know about this Roman amphitheater. This book takes readers beyond the showy spectacles that took place there. It fills in the long history of the Colosseum with well-chosen photographs that reinforce the engaging text. Young readers encounter 20 eye-opening facts and gain a broader understanding of the Colosseum, how and why it was built, and its place in history<br/>
