The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. Standing as the largest amphitheater ever built, it was completed in 80 AD under Emperor Titus. For centuries, it hosted gladiatorial combats, wild animal hunts, and grand spectacles that captivated audiences. But what most people don't know is that the Colosseum was far more advanced than it seems. It could even flood its arena for naval battles—known as naumachia. Beneath the wooden stage lay the Hypogeum, an underground network of tunnels, elevators, and trapdoors that allowed gladiators and animals to appear seemingly out of nowhere. Sophisticated animal lifts hoisted lions and other wild beasts directly onto the arena, creating thrilling surprises for the audience. Above, a massive retractable awning called the Velarium shielded spectators from the blazing sun. In this 3D animated recreation, we take a close look at how the Colosseum's hidden mechanisms worked. To bring this Roman masterpiece back to life, we've meticulously remodeled the Colosseum using historical texts, archaeological evidence, and a touch of educated guesswork. While some details are lost to history, this recreation offers the closest glimpse yet into how this ancient marvel truly worked—a testament to the ingenuity of Roman engineering.
