| '''Il Colosseo''' (''English: The Colosseum'') is one of the most famous landmarks of [[Rome]], and is featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' as the location of a [[Lairs of Romulus|Lair of Romulus]] and one of [[Subject 16]]'s [[Rifts|Cluster puzzles]]. Construction of The Colosseo began between 70 - 72 AD and finished in 80 AD. During the time when the [[House of Borgia|Borgia family]] ruled Rome, the Colosseo became dilapidated and began to crumble.
| |
| | |
| The Colosseo is where the Passion play is held, as the crosses displayed there are used for the actors. [[Micheletto]] attended the play as one of the actors in an attempt to kill another actor, [[Pietro Rossi]], upon the order of [[Cesare Borgia]]. However, the plan was foiled as [[Ezio Auditore]] disguised himself and his [[Apprentices|Assassin apprentices]] as actors, and caused a riot in the arena.
| |
| | |
| After killing Cesare Borgia in [[Viana]], Ezio hid the [[Sixth Apple|Apple of Eden]] in [[Santa Maria Aracoeli Vault|a vault]] underneath the Colosseo. The modern-day Assassins later discovered the location of the vault via the [[Animus|Animus 2.0]].
| |
| | |
| By 2012, it appears that the modern day [[Italy|Italian]] government has begun to reconstruct the Colosseo, due to the number of cranes and added structures in the background. The area under the Colosseo - an underground location that used to house the gladiators and transport them up to the arena of the Colosseo - had been excavated. To gain access to the vault, Desmond needed to traverse a tricky maze of scaffolding and broken stone.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Colosseo is elliptical (oval-shaped) in real life, but it was made circular for the game, as devising shadows for different sides of the buildings would have been a "nightmare" for [[Ubisoft]].<ref>[http://www.livescience.com/culture/assassins-creed-virtual-rome-renaissance-scholar-101112.html A Renaissance Scholar Helps Build Virtual Rome, ''Live Science'' article]</ref>
| |
| *The Colosseo is one of the landmarks that Ezio can purchase after destroying the [[Borgia Tower]] in that area.
| |
| *There are many normal [[citizens]] on the upper levels of the Colosseo, although it is unknown how they got up there. If any of the citizens are interrupted by Ezio (either through pushing, shoving, or free running next to them), the citizens will start [[Free Running|free running]] down onto the lower platforms of the Colosseo.
| |
| *The Colosseo looks bigger and more immense when Desmond visited it, than it was in Ezio's time.
| |
| *When Desmond enters it, he sees visions of when Ezio visited the Lair, fighting the Followers and chasing the Leader on horseback.
