The Colosseum was originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium). It is an elliptical amphitheatre in the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.The Roman Colosseum is found in the city centre, east of the Roman Forum and its construction was started by the emperor Ve
The Colosseum was damaged by earthquakes in the fifth and sixth centuries, again in 847, and perhaps in the fourteenth century as well. Originally it was entirely surrounded by a double arcade, but in the course of these earthquakes the outer ring of arches fell along the whole southwestern side, forming a mountainous quarry which for centuries furnished building material for the palaces and churc
The Colosseum was a 'marvel' of Rome when it was new, almost nineteen hundred years ago, partly because of its size and partly because the circumstances under which it was built made it one of the world's great 'gallery plays'. 'Here, where the far-seen Amphitheatre lifts its mass august,' wrote Martial, 'was Nero's mere.' Vespasian had drained the artificial lake in the gardens of Nero's Golden H
Not really. But Capitol Hill politicians might as well allocate funds to build one, complete with chariot races and gladiators to keep us happy, considering the way they’re pandering to the masses these days. When Congress only has a 20% approval rating (Gallup), what else would you expect? Something like what happened [...]
Colosseum is a British jazz fusion band considered also to be part of early progressive rock. The band was formed in 1968 by founding members drummer Jon Hiseman, tenor sax player Dick Heckstall-Smith and bass player Tony Reeves. All three had previously played together in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Dave Greenslade, (organ), was immediately recruited, and the line-up was completed by Jim Roche
Roman Colosseum.'Colosseum' the Roman amphitheatre is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture & engineering, & is located on the marshy land between the Esquiline & Caelian Hills. Construction for this is stated to be started between 70 & 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian & was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign. Originally capable of seating 50,000 spectators, it had approximately eighty entrances that helped in easy movement of crowd, as they could arrive & leave easily & quickly. It was used for gladiatorial contests & public spectacles. The Colosseum remained in use for nearly 500 years & what we see today are the remains of the greatest amphitheatre of the antiquity.(Image: Credit).(Image: Credit).(Image credit: Beatro
ColosseumThe great Flavian amphitheater of ancient Rome, said to be so named from the colossal statue of Nero that stood close by in the Via Sacra. It was begun by Vespasian in 72 A. D., and, for 400 years, was the scene of the gladiatorial contests. The ruins remaining are still colossal and extensive, but quite two-thirds of the original building have been taken away at different times and used for building material. Byron, adapting the exclamation of the 8thcentury pilgrims (and adopting a bad spelling), says: While stands Coliseum, Rome shall stand; When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall: And when Rome falls--the world. Childe Harold, IV. cxlv. The name has since been applied to other amphitheaters and places of amusement.

A Colosseum második albuma alig fél évvel az elsőt követően jelent meg, talán mert a fiúk érezték, hogy az idő, amit együtt tölthetnek igen rövidre szabott.Erre az albumra is csak egy jelzőt találok: zseniális. Ma már szinte elképzelhetetlen az a hatás, amit ez a zene gyakorolt a szakmára és a közönségre egyaránt.A zenekar felállása: Dave Greenslade - Keyboards, Organ (Hammond), Vibraphone; Dave Gelly - Saxophone; Dick Heckstall-Smith - Saxophone; Jon Hiseman - Drums; James Litherland - Guitar, Vocals; Jimmy Phillips - Saxophone; Tony Reeves: Bass, Guitar (Bass). A felvételeken fúvósokon közreműködött még Barbara Thompson is.A számok:1. Kettle (Heckstall-Smith/Hiseman)2. Elegy (Litherland)3. Butty's Blues (Litherland)4. Machine Demands A Sacrifice (Brown/Heckstall-Smith/Hiseman/Litherland)5. Valentyne Suite, Theme One: January's (Greenslade/Hiseman)6. Valentyne Suite, Theme Two: Febrary's (Greenslade/Hiseman)7.

Ha már előkerült az imént John Mayall Bare Wire című opusza, itt az idő, hogy Kisati néhány napja feltett kérdésére is sort kerítsünk. Ő ugyanis a Colosseumot hiányolta (teljes joggal) a kuckóból. Szóval az említett John Mayall album felvételekor a Bluesbreakers tagjaként zenélt Jon Hiseman dobos, Dick Heckstall-Smith szaxofonos és Tony Reeves bőgős-basszusgitáros és úgy érezték, hogy nekik együtt kell maradniuk, és valami sosemvolt zenét kell játszaniuk.Dave Greenslade billentyűs-énekessel és James Litherland gitáros-énekessel kiegészülve megalakították a Colosseum együttest. Zenéjük a jazz, a blues és a rock igen magas színvonalú szintézise, mellyel Angliában a King Crimsonnal együtt a progresszív rock űttörői voltak.Első lemezük az 1969-es Those Who Are About To Die Salute You.A számok:01. Walking in the Park (Bond) – 3:5102. Plenty Hard Luck (Greenslade/Heckstall-Smith/Hiseman/Litherland/Reeves) – 4:2303. Mandarin

Among the newly elected wonders of the world we can find our Colosseum!!!
These new wonders are considered as such because they are added to the previously selected ones in 140 BC from Antipatro of Sidone that have almost completely disappeared.
The new wonders are a result of a big private opinion survey proposed by Bernard Weber, a Swiss-Canadian director during the Olympics of Sidney 2000, after the destruction of giant Buddhas in Bamiyam, in Afganistan, by the hand of the Talibans.

The game is being developed by the developer of Bullet Witch, Cavia, and is scheduled for release on the Playstation Portable sometime this year.

Colosseum - Live(1971)320 Kbps Live albums are dangerous things. While the good ones capture the raw excitement of a show, all too often they expose a band's weaknesses, the ones that get covered in the studio -- a singer who's not so good and instrumentalists who really can't cut it. But Colosseum, by the time they made their live album (the CD version comes with an extra track, "I Can't Live Without You," that wasn't on the original vinyl), were a seasoned outfit with some top-notch performers. In veteran Chris Farlowe they had a blues belter who could also turn his hand to jazz. Dave "Clem" Clempson was a rock guitarist first and foremost, but not limited to that, and bassist Mark Clarke was exactly the elastic foil drummer Jon Hiseman needed in the rhythm section. And they make the most of their abilities here, giving everything extended workouts, from Jack Bruce's "Rope Ladder to the Moon" to a seemingly off-the-cuff (though probably carefully rehearsed) "Stormy Monday Blues
