Although only the underground rooms & a part of the foundations remain, they bear witness of its grandeur & magnitude. Gladiators fought to the death, hunters killed wild animals & some made a living by letting themselves be mauled by animals & priding themselves on the resulting scars. When an emperor ordered a persecution of Christians, individuals who refused to forswear their faith were sacrificed to hungry beasts.
