- Abstract: The article discusses the underground ruins of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, called the hypogeum. It focuses on analysis of the site by archeologist Heinz-Jürgen Beste of the German Archaeological Institute. Beste and colleagues produced technical drawings and models, identified phases and renovations, and studied the Colosseum's stagecraft. Events inside the venue included gladiator shows, wild beast hunts (venatio), and the midday games (ludi meridiani) in which criminals and prisoners were executed.
