Because it is not the original one in Rome.

There is no such thing as "a" Colosseum, there is THE Colosseum (it is the nickname of the specific amphitheatre located in Rome), then there are other amphitheatres. Then one in the op is not a "roman colosseum" but a roman AMPHITHEATRE.

But to answer your question, it is the most famous of all amphitheatres because:
a) It is the largest amphitheatres ever built.
b) It is in the former imperial capital, Rome, which was the most relevant (through out most of roman history) of all roman cities, and is also the most famous.

There are by the way several well preserved amphitheatres, pic related is located in croatia.
So they are not the rarest of buildings.

wish the Roman one was in good enough condition to hold the Champions league.

-its half the size,
-built 200 years later,
-not surrounded by other marvels of ancient engineering.

>>get sluts dressed in stolas and LARPers in legion armor on the entrances
if you go to Rome now there are lots of people in costumes at the coliseum

Because if Muslims find out about it, they'll destroy it for being an "idol".

>>2904782
Is the one where a Christian Berber ruler is supposed to have made their last stand against the oncoming Muslim horde in the 8th century?

>>2904782
Why would it be? There are dozens of roman amphitheatres in Italy, dozens in Europe and dozen in north Africa and the middle east. Why should El Jem's one be famous?

You mean you'd actually allow fucking ultras in a historical site? You degenerate.

>>2904782
Because Tunisia is a shit holiday

>you'd actually allow fucking ultras in a historical site?

it's not like that place wasn't always meant to hold mobs of plebs or that you couldn't idiot-proof a historical site.

people still drive under arcs of triumph, people still walk over the appian way, people still cross the Alcantara bridge.
