Colosseum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Colosseum was in continuous use until 217, when it was damaged by fire after a lightning strike. Since that time, as a gesture against capital punishment, the local authorities of Rome change the colour of the Colosseum's night time illumination from white to gold whenever a person condemned to the death penalty anywhere in the world gets their sentence commuted or is released. Additionally, bird migration, flower blooming, and the growth of Rome that caused the Colosseum to not be on the outskirts of the city, as well as deliberate transport of species, are also contributing causes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Colosseum   (1899 words)
