Near the Arch of Constantine in Rome, Italy stands the Colosseum, one of the biggest tourist attractions in the city. Construction of the Colosseum was completed in 80 AD under the reign of the Emperor Titus and it was the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire. Near the Colosseum is the Roman Forum, with the Temple of Venus and Rome closest to the Colosseum itself. Construction of the Temple of Venus and Rome was completed in the year 141 AD and it is thought to have been the largest temple in ancient Rome. The Arch of Titus was built in about 82 AD and it stands on the Via Sacra, providing an entrance to the Roman Forum.
