	'''Il Colosseo''' (English: ''The Colosseum''), known also as the '''Anfiteatro Flavio''', was one of the most famous landmarks of [[Rome]]. It contained one of the [[Lairs of Romulus]], and was one of the locations on which [[Clay Kaczmarek]] inscribed a [[Rifts\|Rift]].

	~~Construction of the Colosseo began in [[72]] CE, and finished in 80 CE. During the [[House of Borgia\|Borgia family]]'s rule over Rome, the Colosseo had become dilapidated.~~

	~~==History==~~
	~~===Lair of Romulus===~~
	In the early 16th century, the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] ventured to the lower levels of the Colosseo to uncover the conspiracy surrounding the [[Followers of Romulus]] and to continue his search for the shrines to Romulus.

	Upon arriving, Ezio made his way through a decrepit corridor, and then encountered an individual sitting on a chair. As he reached out to him, the man flung his chair across the room and revealed himself to be a Follower of Romulus, swiping his dagger at Ezio. Just then, a voice bellowed from a raised platform further down the corridor, and a leader dressed in a jubilee costume ordered a group of followers to kill Ezio.

	~~[[File:Thrown to the Wolves 1.png\|thumb\|left\|250px\|The Colosseo's lower levels]]~~
	Defeating the attackers, Ezio confronted the individual who had ordered his death. The man denied Ezio's demand for answers, and fled through a section of the Colosseo, eventually arriving at a crowded Jubilee. Upon discovering the leader hidden amongst the crowd, Ezio chased him to another large corridor.

	Jumping on a [[Horses\|horse]], the leader made another attempt at escape but was soon followed by Ezio, who commandeered a horse of his own. After a short chase sequence, the pair eventually arrived at another room filled with Followers of Romulus. Ezio defeated his attackers and assassinated the leader. Performing a [[Leap of Faith]], Ezio arrived at [[Juno]]'s [[Colosseum ~~Vault\|Temple]] and entered the shrine to Romulus, claiming a [[Scrolls of Romulus\|Scroll of Romulus]] and one of the keys to the [[Armor of Brutus]]. He then left the temple and returned to Rome.~~

	~~===Passion play===~~
	~~[[File:Intervention 2.png\|thumb\|250px\|The Colosseo's 1503 passion play]]~~
	By 1503, the Colosseo was used as a place where a play detailing [[Jesus Christ]]'s crucifixtion was held, with crosses displayed for the use of actors. [[Cesare Borgia]]'s personal assassin [[Micheletto Corella]] attended the play disguised as one of the actors, in an attempt to kill the latest lover of Cesare's [[Lucrezia Borgia\|sister]], [[Pietro Rossi]], on orders by Cesare himself. However, the plan was foiled when Ezio Auditore also disguised himself and his Assassin [[apprentices]] as actors, to which they caused a riot in the arena. Once Micheletto was defeated and Pietro saved, a group of [[mercenaries]] sent by fellow Assassin [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] appeared to help Ezio to escape.

	Some time after, in an attempt to regain power over Rome after [[Rodrigo Borgia\|his father]]'s death, Cesare Borgia called a meeting of [[cardinals]] inside the Colosseo. However, on their arrival, the cardinals informed him that they had elected [[Julius II\|Guiliano della Rovere]] to the [[Papacy]]. The meeting was then cut short when Ezio Auditore used his [[Ezio's Apple of Eden\|Apple of Eden]] to further weaken Cesare's support.

	~~A year before Cesare Borgia's death in [[Viana]], in 1506, Ezio hid the Apple of Eden in a Vault underneath the Colosseo.~~

	~~===Modern times===~~
	~~[[File:Retrieval 2.png\|thumb\|left\|250px\|Desmond Miles and his allies at the Colosseo]]~~
	In 2012, the modern-day Assassins discovered that Ezio's [[Pieces of Eden\|Piece of Eden]] was located somewhere near the Colosseo. After finding the password to open the vault below the ancient structure, Desmond and his allies hurried to the site.

	When the Assassins arrived, they realized that a reconstruction project had begun on the Colosseo, indicated by the number of cranes and additional structures within it. The area under the Colosseo, an underground location that previously housed gladiators and transported them up to the arena, had also been excavated. To gain access to the vault, Desmond [[Freerunning\|traversed]] a maze of scaffolding, broken stone, and construction equipment.

	~~==Trivia==~~
	*The Colosseo is elliptical (oval-shaped) in reality, but it was made circular for ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood\|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'', since devising shadows for different sides of the buildings would have "[http://www.livescience.com/culture/assassins-creed-virtual-rome-renaissance-scholar-101112.html driven game designers nuts]".
	*The Colosseo was one of the landmarks that Ezio could purchase after destroying the nearby [[Borgia Towers\|Borgia Tower]], being the most expensive one in ''Brotherhood''.
	*There were many [[civilians\|citizens]] on the upper levels of the Colosseo, although it is unknown as to how they managed to get up there. If any of the citizens were interrupted by Ezio, they would begin to freerun down to the lower levels.
	*The Colosseo could be seen from [[Castel Sant'Angelo]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', though it couldn't be visited.
	*During Desmond's visit to the landmark, the Colosseo appeared much larger than it did in Ezio's time. This is due to the fact that, in modern times, most, if not all, of the Colosseo's underground portions are unearthed.
	*When Desmond entered the Colosseo, he saw visions of Ezio's visit to the Lair of Romulus, fighting the Followers and chasing the leader on horseback.
	*The Colosseo was one of the [[territories]] that could be purchased in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''.
