The Colosseum, also referred to as the Roman Colosseum, is a large amphitheater located in Rome. At the time of its creation, it was referred to by a different moniker—the Amphitheatrum Flavium. The Amphitheatrum Flavium was created by Vespian between 70 AD and 76 AD, and the ampitheater was dedicated to Titus in 80 AD. The Colosseum was a popular location to host entertainment events, such as gladiator battles.

The Capitol Hill, also known as the Capitoline Hill, Capitolium, or mons Capitolinus, is one of the six hills of Rome. The Capitoline Hill is the smallest of these six hills, and itself possesses two peaks. The hill was mostly a religious center, though the Capitol was also the site of a few governmental functions related to consuls and provincial governors. It is the site of the temple dedicated to the Roman gods and goddesses Jupiter Optimus Maximus, Juno, and Minerva. The original temple was burnt down in 83 BC.
