The Coliseum

The Coliseum refers to both the Coliseum Maximus and the district it resides within in the city of Surket. The Coliseum has been an official part of Surket since 538 AA, when the Coliseum Maxima was erected in the overflow from the Gardens and the city wall was extended around it, officially incorporating it into the city proper and giving the Council of Surket its 13th member.

The district is home to the Coliseum Maximus which is the largest coliseum of its kind in the world, only second to the now ruined Coliseum Aquiatus on the Isle of Aquias when it was constructed. There are also several smaller coliseums that surround it for auxilary matches, the Circus of Paradise, and the Crimson Racetrack. There are also numerous vendors, stalls, shops, and theatres. While the Gardens is considered the heart of culture in Surket, the Coliseum is the heart of entertainment.

The Coliseum is represented by "Rowdy" Rodney Briggs, retired gladiator and current owner of the Coliseum Maxima.
