the Immortality of Ancient Rome

A documentary on the history of one of the most famous monuments of the past, “Coliseum: the Immortality of Ancient Rome" shows us how the Amphiteater Flavium (as it was known to the Romans) has been seen throughout the centuries: From hosting the best entertainment in the Roman Empire to becoming a quarry for its white travertine marble; from home for the poorest Roman farmers and a gun-powder warehouse, to its position today as a breathtaking symbol of an unforgotten past.
