Often scaffolding wasn't built. We see this in movies, but in real life it was hard to do without the machines and tools. In the Tower of London I saw a block of wood that was used for beheading. The person was requested to get on their knees, and bend down putting their head on the block. They had to expose their neck to the axeman.

Where did gladiators fight before the coliseum was built?

The Gladiator combat was originally fought at the funerals of rich people. It was part of a funerary ritual. Gladiatorial fights later developed into public games. While they were still private affairs, the combats became bigger and were held at the Forum Romanum or the Forum Boarium, where scaffolding for the seating of its sponsors were erected. The games became more public when Gaius Gracchus ordered the scaffolding at one combat to be taken down so that the poor could see it in the 120s BC. The first Roman amphitheatre, arenas were gladiatorial games were held, was built in Pompeii in 70 BC. Rome built a wooden arena, the amphitheatre of Gaius Scribonius Curio in 53 BC. The first part-stone arena was built 30 BC, in time for Octavian's (later called Augustus) triumphal celebration. It burned down in 64 AD and Vespasian started the construction of the Colosseum as its replacement in 70 AD
