Under the Arena
Part of the album: Italy Day 3: Colosseum
The floor to the arena is long gone because it was made out of wood. The wooden floor was covered in sand and they had an elevator-like structure to deliver the gladiators and animals. The pits were an addition to the Colosseum after it was built. Before they made the pits, they could use the Colosseum for naval battles by filling the Colosseum with water.
