Frequently asked
What animals were used in Colosseum hunts?
Romans imported exotic animals from across their empire including African lions, elephants, leopards, bears, ostriches, rhinoceros, hippos, and crocodiles. Over 9,000 animals were reportedly killed during the Colosseum's inaugural games alone, showcasing the empire's vast reach and wealth.
