Where Is the Colosseum?

Where Is the Colosseum? explores the marvel of ancient Roman engineering that once hosted one hundred days of games, from gladiator battles to mock naval battles staged on a flooded arena floor. Part of the bestselling Who HQ series, the book traces how the Roman Empire rose to power and why its most famous amphitheater still draws millions of visitors today. This is a solid choice for students because it turns a single iconic landmark into an entry point for understanding the scale and spectacle of ancient Rome.
