Legionaries had long,curved wooden shields.The shields had metal edges and a metal stud in the centre.Sometimes the legionaries placed their shields together in a special shape called a 'tortoise'.This was to protect them from arrows and spears.

Looking at Evidence
It is the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire.It could easily fit a football field.There were four main floors.Each with 80 arches.The coliseum could hold 50,000 spectators.With seating for nobles and the common man.It was surrounded by a 15-foot wall with seating above.Below the coliseum were numerous rooms and tunnels.

Looking at Evidence
Some Housed Gladiators and Wild Animals.Others contained pulleys, Ramps, and Hand - Operated Elevators.Over 1 million animals died in the course of the coliseum games.The last recorded games were held in the 6th century.The coliseum had survived many earthquakes that caused the south side to collapse.

The shows in the amphitheatre were cruel and bloody.Soldiers called gladiators trained in special schools.Huge crowds watched as they fought against wild animals and against each other.
