The Colosseum in Rome was started around A.D. 75 and completed in A.D 80. It is a huge structure capable of holding around 50,000 people and it was originally called the Flavium Amphitheatre, the name colosseum was given to it in the 8th century.
As the title should tell you, the movie Spartacus is about the gladiator who escaped along with others and terrorized Italy. Much of the movie versions of Spartacus are fictionalized as very little is actually known about the person called Spartacus.
The movie gladiator was fictional. Commodus did not murder Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius made him co-emperor in 177, three years before his death. The two ruled together with equal status. They celebrated a joint triumph and Commodus became consul at the age of 15, making him the youngest consul there had been up to then. There were conspiracies against Commodus, after he became sole emperor,but none involved a general. Maximus Decimius Meridius is a fictional character.The depiction of gladiatorial combats uses the misconceptions promoted by movies about these combats. Initially, gladiators fought to the death when the fights were part of a funerary ritual imported to Rome. However, this changed when Julius Caesar turned the combats into public games. The missio ((the sparing of a defeated gladiator's life) became common practice. Refusals by Caligula and Claudius to spare popular but defeated gladiators made them unpopular. Skill was more important than bloodshed. Winning a combat without causing injury was a desirable skill and several gladiators were praised for never injuring anyone. Successful gladiators were seen as heroes and on their death memorials with inscriptions about their deed and glory were built. Gladiators became big business for trainers and owners, aspiring politicians or high ranking men. The professional trainers made a living out of gladiators and did not want to see them executed. Nevertheless, it was still a dangerous game and death rates were quite high.
augustusAnswerOctavianus... later called Caesar Augustus is considered as the first roman emperor. Please note that the most famous roman leader, Julius Caesar had chosen Augustus as his own son. Julius Caesar himself doesn't really count as emperor... he had been blaimed for concentrating the leading positions is one person (himself). If by "empire" the word commonly used for the principate, Octavian/Augustus was the first ruler.True AnswerThe first ruler of the Roman empire was Romulus.

It is in the Colosseum, also called the Colisseum, that gladiator fights were held.Specifically, the original name of the structure was the Flavian Amphitheater (Amphitheatrum Flavium). The name honored the structure's building during the Flavian dynasty of Roman emperors during the first century. The name by which it is known nowadays dates back to the tenth century.
