The Colosseum or Coliseum (/kɒləˈsiːəm/kol-ə-SEE-əm), also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio[amfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo] or Colosseo[kolosˈsɛːo]), is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Colosseum were a pioneering English progressivejazz-rock band, mixing progressive rock and jazz-based improvisation.
History 1968–1971
The band was formed in September 1968 by drummer Jon Hiseman, tenor sax player Dick Heckstall-Smith and bass player Tony Reeves, who had previously worked together in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers on the Bare Wires album. Dave Greenslade, on organ, was immediately recruited, and the line-up was completed by Jim Roche on guitar, although Roche only recorded one track before being replaced by James Litherland, (guitar and vocals). Hiseman and Heckstall-Smith had also previously played in Graham Bond's band, and Colosseum utilised several of the songs from that period.
The band made their live debut in Newcastle and were promptly recorded by influential BBC Radio 1DJJohn Peel for his Top Gear Radio program. This appearance gained them valuable exposure and critical acclaim.
Cold within myself
I stare to empty gloom
Languishing years predicting the end
Were there even beginning at all
Lying above myself
Gazing at my body
Ravage of empty self
Pale soulless embrace
Opium has left my veins
Reality's gruesome knives lacerate my flesh
But I'll never cry
Please leave me be within these shades of grey
Soulless nonexistent flame must be extinguished without a single tear

Vast fields of ice prevailed by gloom Still they flicker in relentless storm Echoes resound through the years Silent screams that will never leave Spheres of chaotic reign Beyond sleep - bereft of life Escape the earth through nebula Enter the mind Walking through the seasons unchanging You saw the autumn long time ago Winter's grasp choked its' quiet roots Lying dead beneath the snow Were you ever here at all Absurd of absurdities Now close yourself within unending sleep Floating among angels of blood Gargoyles chanting in circles of stone Enter disappearance and blankness eternal Gargoyles chanting in circles of stone
