The Colosseum

[Geek Amicus]

I know that it was dedicated in AD 80 and had 100 days of games as its inaugural, but does anyone have a more exact date or a time year in which it opened?

 

Thanks.

My OCD claims that it was dedicated in June 80 AD.

What's an OCD?

A book, The Oxford Classical Dictionary(I've got a fourth edition one). I would warmly recommend it as a reference work!

Ah, I see. Thanks, Klingan - good recommendation.

 

 

PS I thought you meant you had an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that caused you to learn historical dates. That would have been useful! Possibly more so than the book.

Haha, that would be a nice way to let everyone know, now wouldn't it?

 

Damn I could really use that.

Thank you!

 

I was pretty sure that OCD had something to do with Oxford and Dictionary, but I too had images of Rain Man: "Titus, gotta see Titus..."
