Italeri 68003 - 1/500 Colosseum Scale Model

The Italeri 68003 Colosseum model reproduces the main architectural features of the ancient amphitheatre at a tidy 1/500 scale. Parts are intended to capture arches, tiers and the overall silhouette of the Flavian Amphitheatre for an accurate display piece.

Origins of the Monument

Construction began in AD 72 under Vespasian and was completed by Titus around AD 80. Built from travertine and volcanic stone, the Colosseum became a prime example of Roman engineering and public entertainment, hosting large crowds thanks to its clever circulation design.

Why This Kit Appeals

This Italeri 68003 kit is aimed at modellers who enjoy historical subjects. Its detailing lets you recreate features like the seating tiers and the velarium shade, and the compact scale makes it manageable for display or themed collections.
