Gladiator Colosseum Found in Tuscany

Italian archaeologists have unearthed remains of an oval structure that might represent the most important Roman amphitheater finding over the last century.  The foundations of the colosseum, which is oval-shaped like the much larger arena in the heart of Rome, were found in the town of Volterra and might date back to the 1st century A.D.  Amphitheaters like these were used during Roman times to feature events including gladiator combats and wild animal fights.

I am happy for this new big piece of history. I loved all the movies in the Roman Empire such as my favorite: Gladiator and Troy. This will make more people wanna try to discover more Colosseums.

“We are hoping to find more sponsors and funding to excavate this wonder. We believe that within three years it could be fully brought to light,”  Sorge said. I believe that this can be added to the 7 wonders of the world after 5 years.
