Leaving the Colosseum off a list like this would be completely remiss. To see something standing so tall and proud that was built in the 1st century AD is staggering. Indeed, the massive amphitheater remains one of the world’s greatest marvels of ancient engineering. You can all but picture the gladiator battles and dramatic performances that took place when it was “the place to be.” Is there any other ancient civilization that could outwit the ingenuity of Roman and Greek architecture?
