Product Description
Built by the Emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian, The Colosseum exemplifies a complex elliptical design which had to be worked out mathematically, with room for 50,000 spectators. It housed such public events as gladiator fights, mock naval battles, wild animal hunts and chariot races.
Made of cold cast resin, this stunning pair of Colosseum bookends is part of the Historical Wonders Collection. Measuring 6 3/4 inches tall, 3 1/8 inches deep, and 5 inches wide, they show excellent detailing, and add class and style to any bookshelf or table. This pair also makes a great present for the holidays or for housewarming gifts.
