NOVA - Official Website . Never has such a civilized culture poured so much of its wealth into engineering spectacles of death for the entertainment of its people. KATHERINE WELCH (New York University): In the morning, you had wild beast shows; around the lunchtime, crucifixions; in the afternoon, the piece de la resistance: two men, fighting to the death. NARRATOR: Ancient Roman accounts document the Colosseum's repertoire in chilling detail. They depict an orgy of outrageous spectacles: costumed gladiators cast in battles to the death; exotic animals unleashed on unsuspecting victims; even sea battles, with thousands of people killed. Were the Romans as bloodthirsty in their theatrics as ancient authors report? To investigate, a subterranean archeologist explores tunnels beneath the Colosseum to discover how it could be flooded for naval battles. A forensic scientist gives voice to gladiators whose battle- bruised bones bear witness to their own deaths. FABIAN KANZ (Medical University of Vienna): We had in our hands, for the first time, remains of real gladiators. NARRATOR: And an architect pieces together clues of an elaborate system of ancient special effects machines. Then, with a team of engineers and builders, they reconstruct it, and for the first time in 1,5. Colosseum. Now, can scientists and scholars unlock the secrets of how and why the Romans engineered such bloody spectacles? Right now, on NOVA, The Colosseum: Roman Deathtrap. If one building best symbolizes the gore, glory and genius of the Romans, it is the Colosseum. It is a spectacle of design and engineering, the biggest building they ever constructed. It spans nearly 2,0. To this day, the Colosseum stands as a powerful landmark on the skyline of Rome. MARK WILSON JONES (University of Bath): When the Colosseum was built, it had enormous effect, because of its size, status and presence in Rome. NARRATOR: The echo of its 5. Over four centuries, the Colosseum was witness to an estimated million human deaths, and with up to 1. Balkan lion and a North African elephant, were driven to extinction. A new analysis conducted by the German Archaeological Institute at the ancient stone quarry of Baalbek/Ancient Heliopolis, in Lebanon, has calculated the size and. Nineveh (modern-day Mosul, Iraq) was one of the oldest and greatest cities in antiquity. The area was settled as early as 6000 BCE and, by 3000, had become an. Yet the Colosseum was much more than a spectacular slaughterhouse. It was a carefullyengineered entertainment complex, designed to reinforce Roman world order. KATHERINE WELCH: Watching fighting on a regular basis for entertainment gave the Romans a sense of who they were and infused them with a kind of military ethos that was instrumental in creating and maintaining the empire. NARRATOR: Ancient Roman authors, such as Martial in his Book of Spectacles, describe how that world order played out on the arena's stage. They cast the Emperor as master illusionist. ![]() ![]() The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Did you know it would have been impossible for anyone to see all seven wonders of the ancient world?

On his command, a menagerie of ostriches, crocodiles, rhinos, bears and tigers magically appear to be dispatched by hunters; a condemned criminal is dressed in wings and catapulted across the arena to play out a Greek myth; and fantastical sea battles take place, where thousands of prisoners of war are either slaughtered or drowned. Can these astonishing accounts of elaborate executions be true? Or has the boundary between history and myth been blurred over time? Most recently, the Colosseum was brought back to life in the film Gladiator, where tigers spring from out of nowhere to maul Russell Crowe. But that's Hollywood effects; the Romans were doing it for real. Parts of the movie Gladiator are based on events portrayed in ancient texts and mosaics. They depict gladiators locked in combat and wild beasts mauling people. But none of these accounts describe how the Romans made these animals magically appear. Some scholars suspect the secret may be hidden in its basement. The “hypogeum,” the Greek word for “underground” is a maze of corridors and collapsed walls. Architect Heinz Beste thinks that here, hidden from the spectators above, is where the Romans engineered their murderous magic. HEINZ BESTE (German Archaeological Institute in Rome): We have to imagine this being covered by the wooden arena floor above. It was dark down here, lit only by torches and small lamps. NARRATOR: Today, the arena floor has been partially rebuilt for tourists. The original was made of wood and covered in sand, to absorb blood. The floor and all its wooden supports are long gone, but etched into the walls of the hypogeum Beste finds deep cuts and grooves. To decipher these fossil- like remains, he drew every stone on every wall. After more than two years, he began to make sense of the mysterious markings. HEINZ BESTE: Through these drawings, it was possible to connect these clues and turn the whole puzzle into a system that can be explained. NARRATOR: Here, he finds impressions made by wooden beams, and, evenly spaced along the floor, are a series of round holes in concrete. HEINZ BESTE: Here is another piece of the puzzle. This is a base for a capstan. NARRATOR: A capstan is a large round pole that could be turned by workers to lift something. HEINZ BESTE: Ah, interesting. Up here, we see an indentation for a ramp. NARRATOR: Another mark reveals where a ramp might have led to the arena. In Beste's mind, the pieces come together: support framing from the floor of the hypogeum to the floor of the arena, halfway up, a horizontal beam for workers to stand on, a capstan with poles for workers to turn, a channel where a cage could fit, and finally, a trapdoor that could lower to become a ramp leading to the arena floor. Together, they form what could be a device to lift and release animals. HEINZ BESTE: I believe, given the evidence, there must have been an ancient lift system here. NARRATOR: Throughout the hypogeum, Beste finds evidence of ancient backstage machinery, a total of 2. Has Heinz Beste discovered the secret to how the Romans made wild animals magically appear in the arena? To find out, he wants to construct a lift and trapdoor system, install it right here in the Colosseum and raise an animal into the most famous amphitheater on Earth. But why did the Romans build the Colosseum to stage these bloody spectacles? Part of the answer is hiding in plain sight. For years, a cast- aside stone was used as a place for visitors to rest, its importance completely unnoticed. In the 1. 80. 0s, an inscription was discovered on its surface. It ended up here, in the Colosseum museum, where it became, once again, largely unnoticed. But hidden beneath these fifth- century letters may be another, much earlier inscription. Rosella Rea is Director of the Colosseum and one of the leading experts on the building. Mixed within the engraved letters, she sees a series of strange holes. ROSELLA REA (Director of the Colosseum): You can see with the naked eye that the holes are arranged in a regular pattern. By studying their layout, it was found that the holes form a series of letters. NARRATOR: The holes are where bronze letters had once been fastened to the stone. ROSELLA REA: This was the hole for the first letter, the letter . The following year he orders construction on the Colosseum to begin. The stone is the plaque from its dedication, and the letters spell out how the Colosseum was paid for, with booty. But booty from where? Vespasian's son left a clue on the nearby Arch of Titus. On it, Katherine Welch finds depictions of Romans sacking the temple in Jerusalem. KATHERINE WELCH: One of the panels depicts the menorah, the Torah and the sacred table, carried by elite young Roman men. This is quintessential war booty, the things that meant the most to the people from whom they were seized. NARRATOR: Following his son's conquest of Judea in the year 7. Vespasian is rich with gold and slaves. He can build anything he wants. So why the Colosseum? Vespasian needs a building that makes a bold statement that he, Vespasian Flavius, is nothing like the emperor before him, the infamous Nero. Emperor Nero's rule is marked by extravagance, and much of Rome burning. He confiscates land and builds a pleasure palace with gardens and a manmade lake. Nero is driven from the throne, commits suicide, and Rome is engulfed in civil war. KATHERINE WELCH: After a ghastly year of civil war and the suicide of Nero, Vespasian did everything in his living power to ingratiate himself with the Senate and consolidate his personal power. NARRATOR: After fighting his way to the throne, Vespasian casts himself as the anti- Nero. He buries Nero's palace, fills in his lake and on top builds the opposite of a pleasure garden, a public building for blood sports. KATHERINE WELCH: In building the largest, most expensive building in Rome, a building for popular entertainment, it celebrated military power and put it into a frightening, exciting, chastening context. NARRATOR: The Colosseum is the perfect symbol for how Vespasian and Rome came to power. And to enhance the blood sports, Vespasian builds in some deadly surprises, releasing wild animals into the arena. But reconstructing the lift that could have done this is an audacious plan. If Heinz Beste is to succeed, he'll need to find an ally on the inside. Umberto Baruffaldi is an engineer, inventor and Go. Pro enthusiast. He, too, is captivated by how the Romans released wild animals into the arena. Umberto also happens to be director of Health and Safety for the Colosseum. Beste shares his drawings with Umberto. UMBERTO BARUFFALDI (Designer/Engineer): The drawing is beautiful, but how are we going to make it work? NARRATOR: Beste's drawings provide a skeleton of the system, but it's not clear how the lift actually works. Umberto brings in structural engineer Giovanni Squillacioti and material engineer Flavia Campanelli. FLAVIA CAMPANELLI (Structural Engineer): We have to create a system of pulleys and counterweights that works perfectly and synchronizes. NARRATOR: Giovanni translates Beste's two- dimensional drawing into a three- dimensional computer model. GIOVANNI SQUILLACIOTI (Architect/Designer): I defined every mechanism that Flavia has indicated. NARRATOR: The trapdoor is one of the big challenges. On one hand, it has to open to release the animal into the arena. As this is turned, it wraps a rope around it. |
