The coliseum stood as a towering giant of stone, its immense arches bathed in the golden light of the rising sun. Though open at its center to let in natural light, the ceiling stretched out into a vast dome adorned with vibrant frescoes.
The stands rose in concentric circles, each tier higher than the last. The seats were carved from smooth, pale marble, polished to perfection and cushioned with embroidered pillows. As one descended toward the lower levels, the materials became simpler and more refined, with the seating reduced to bare stone benches.
Massive columns framed the arena, supporting suspended balconies. These balconies were draped in fine silk and vibrant banners displaying the heraldry of the ruling houses, each proudly bearing its crest. Exotic flowers, freshly picked, rested in clay vases, adding splashes of color and fragrance to the vastness of the stone coliseum.
