===A Lingering Colossus===
Work progressed on the amphitheater for the following eight years and thus stretched across several of Vespasian's successors, known to history as the Flavian dynasty. It is because of the sharing of this project that the amphitheater took the name of the "Flavian Amphitheater," and the citizens of Rome received its debut joyously. With a capacity for tens of thousands of audience members and novel features that allows for feats as fantastical as mock naval battles in the main arena, the amphitheater became a hub for Roman entertainment.
