Thanks to its 80 ground-level entrances (76 for ordinary citizens, 4 for the imperial elite), it's estimated the Colosseum could be filled or emptied in a mere 8 minutes.
Naval Battles
The Colosseum was occasionally flooded to stage 'naumachiae' or mock naval battles, complete with ships and re-enactments of famous sea victories.
