Would the Colosseum have been painted?
#5
The Gladiator Museum in Capua shows some ideas of the paintings that were in the amphitheaters.

I suspect that the bigger Amphitheaters had staffs of slaves who cleaned and repainted, although from time to time the paints may have gotten duller. Even today, several of the statues in the National Museum in Rome could use a good dusting. Maybe the president of Italy should write the museum a note, then write in the papers about how he cleaned up and refurbished the national Museum? :lol:
