The Colosseum, or Roman Coliseum, (Italian: Colosseo) is one of the most famous landmarks of Rome and is featured in the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. The player is able to climb to the top of the Colosseum, as it had been shown that Ezio Auditore da Firenze and his apprenticed Assassins scaled it in 1503. It is also revealed to be one of the secret locations in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. ^{[citation needed]} Both pieces of Colosseum artwork shown thus far show executions by crucifixion taking place inside, though the identities of the victims and the reason for their executions are currently not known. These depictions are historically inaccurate, since by the Renaissance, crucifixions had long ago fallen out of fashion in favor of burning at the stake. During the time when the Borgia family ruled Rome the Colosseum became dilapidated and began to crumble. It is unknown if during Ezio's restoration of the city the Colosseum was also restored. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood it is a location of one of Subject 16's puzzles.

Trivia

The Colosseum is elliptical 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.

The Colosseum is one of the landmarks that Ezio can purchase after destroying the Borgia Tower in that area.
