The Colosseum or Coliseum , also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre is an

Subpoena, habeas corpus, pro bono, affidavitall these terms derive from the
Roman legal system, which dominated Western law and government for
centuries. The basis for early Roman law came from the Twelve Tables, a
code that formed an essential part of the constitution during the Republican

era.
Many ancient Roman structures like the Pantheon, the Colosseum and the
Roman Forum are still standing today thanks to the development of Roman
cement and concrete. The Romans first began building with concrete over

2,100 years ago and used it throughout the Mediterranean basin in everything
from aqueducts and buildings to bridges and monuments.
