Colosseum The Colosseum in Rome, Italy, is an oval amphitheatre just east of the Roman Forum and is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built. Construction began with the emperor Vespasian 72 ad, being completed in 80 ad under his successor emperor Titus, with f urther construction continuing under emperor Domitian. Under the era of these three emperors known as the Flavian dynasty, the amphitheatre was named the Flavian Amphitheatre by later classicists and archaeologists for its association with their family name ( Flavius ) . Although the Colosseum is one of the main tourist site locations, it doesn't fit in with placing of other important sites and their meanings. At the time of construction, it would have been near to the edge of the city. The amphitheatre hosts three tiers and one sub level known as hypogeum. It not only hosted gladiatorial battles but also theatrical events like battles, chariot racing, and Olympic games. It was known that it once hosted a water battle
Bryn Celli Ddu Chamber Tomb
Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb is considered a prehistoric tomb with some stone carvings.
There are also a number of Neolithic stones scattered around the tomb, which are located on the Isle of Anglesey.
Bryn Celli Ddu means "the mound in the dark grove." The tomb was archaeologically excavated in the 1920s.

Further monuments:
The Bryn Celli Ddu Standing Stone is a short, rounded stone approximately 520 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 31 degrees toward the southwest.
The Tyddyn-Bach Standing Stone is a tall, neolithic stone along with a clearing approximately 1390 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 17 degrees toward the northwest.
Description
Bryn Celli Ddu measures about 90 feet wide but is not a complete circle, with a height of about 9 feet. The entrance opens out toward the northeast and currently measures 39°.
Measurements
If the stones are connected and measured from the entrance, they are 160° and 236° clockwise.
Further markings on the tomb measure 6°, 77°, and 80°, or if paired, 30° and 12°.
Analysis
It is most likely that the chambered tomb is more recent than Neolithic and was built in 1447 BCE.
This is because the entrance faces 39° towards the northwest, where the number 39 could be 45°, suggesting an earlier date. However, there is a separation of 10 between marker points on the tomb. If the latitude of 53.2077° is divided and converted to a year, then 1447 BCE is produced.
Conclusion
It is most likely that the Chambered Tomb was built near a Neolithic marker, but they used the latitude angle and 6° from 45° on a circle with other markers to produce the number 10.
Later, a further stone was included, with the Neolithic marker being moved during clearing.
