Colosseum

The Colosseum, officially the Vestus Arena, is a large oval amphitheatre in the centre of Old Game City. It is used for gladiatorial contests and other shows like battles against ferocious beasts. There are even rumours of hosting a sea battle there, which could be done by filling the arena with water.

The most celebrated event held in the arena is colloquially referred to as La Gloriosa (the "Glorious One"), in which only the very best soldiers of the Army take part in a ferocious battle before the cheering crowd. The victor or victors are handpicked by the King to become Royal Guards, a highly respected honour.

The people of Game City can enter the Colosseum completely for free.

History
The amphitheatre is the oldest form of public entertainment in the game and is greatly treasured by the citizens of Game City. It was built in 2014 by King Aston as one of his last projects as an absolute monarch before ceding part of his power when Game City became a democracy that very same year.
