Upon entering the Colosseum, visitors pass through hallways with numerous arches forming doorways to the exterior. Here, one can see numerous pockmarks in the structure where the metal bands that held the stones together were removed. Most of the seating inside the Colosseum has been removed or destroyed. Still, some seating remains. Romans were seated according to their class and position in Roman society. The Roman Emperor himself had a private entrance and boxes on the north side of the Colosseum. The Vestal Virgins shared private boxes on the south side of the structure. Even now, nearly two centuries after the Colosseum was built, the beauty of the stonework and the care in its construction are still evident.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Colosseum-Interior-Arches.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15026\" title=\"Pockmarked Colosseum Arches\" src=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Colosseum-Interior-Arches.jpg\" alt=\"Pockmarked Colosseum Arches\" width=\"420\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Colosseum-Interior-Arches.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Colosseum-Interior-Arches-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Colosseum-Interior-Arches-682x1024.jpg 682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Pockmarked Colosseum Arches<\/em><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE:\u00a0 Pockmarked Colosseum Arches (Rome, Lazio, Italy); photographed by Stephen J.
