Template:Location infobox The Colosseum (コロッセオ, Korosseo, italian. Colosseo) or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, is a location featured primarily in Battle Tendency and Vento Aureo. It is a large ellipsoid arena or amphitheater built during the Flavian dynasty and one of the most famous examples of its kind.
The Colosseum is notable for being the general location where the Pillar Men slumbered until their awakening in 1938. It is also where Team Bucciarati meets with a mysterious ally who wishes to reveal the Arrow's hidden potential to them.
The Colosseum is one of Rome's most famous landmarks, as well as a recurring place of interest in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. It is a large oval amphitheater that the Roman Emperor, Vespasian, and his successor Titus, had built in honor of their Flavian dynasty. Thus, it was named the 'Flavian Amphitheater'. It was a marvel of architecture and engineering, as it was able to welcome at least 50,000 spectators. Many spectacles were organized here, from gladiator fights to executions, and naumachia (naval battles after they flooded the arena). It was abandoned and it fell to ruin over time because of earthquakes and the locals robbing the stones. Nowadays, it's mostly a tourist attraction.[1]
In Battle Tendency, it is revealed that there is a large cavern underneath the Colosseum where the Pillar Men slumbered. The cavern itself is decorated with strange Roman statues and murals but also has a working Minecart system. The cavern entrance can be found behind a large marble mask referred to as the Bocca della Verità (The Mouth of Truth) located at the Santa Maria in Cosmedin church.[2]
The Colosseum, as seen near the end of Vento Aureo, is an available battleground in Eyes of Heaven.
The Colosseum appears as a stage in All Star Battle R, returning from Eyes of Heaven.
