The Arena is considered the most vital part of the Colosseum, where games, battles and shows took place. In addition to gladiator flights, in fact, death sentences were carried out in the arena, representation of haunting scenes with ferocious animals and navel battles, with the arena being flooded to reproduce a small lake where boats could be turned. -
