LEGO makes a Colosseum that tempted me until I watched a build on YouTube. SO many repeated elements! Plus an enormous footprint. Pass! LINK

Fortunately, were I to cave, and assuming I could find it
shipping from somewhere closer than the UK, the Jekca
Colosseum is only about a foot across and 6" tall:

Footprint is definitely a concern for me, as our house is
very small - only about 900 square feet.

Okay, just emailed the Enterprise people. Want to find out if there is a pre-built version available.

Looking at the two Colosseums, I have to say that Jekca looks more like Lego than Lego.
Ave, Jekca, morituri te salutant!

Six feet…a little over half way there!•• Bill's cryptic reference is to my recent interest in finding out what it might cost to commission a full sized replica of the original 11 foot model.
