The colosseum almost always contained death, did it not? Using slaves as doubles in plays if someone was to be killed, sending people in to fight against each other or against beasts. There was chariot races, but I feel that that was hardly the staple event of the colosseum, and I doubt that it was violence-free either. Exactly. The Colosseum is a major cultural icon.
