Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mock sea battles, also known as naumachiae, were a popular form of entertainment in the Colosseum. They involved recreating historic naval battles on a huge scale, complete with replicas of warships and even prisoners and animals forced to fight as gladiators. The arena would be flooded with water for the spectacle. Synchronized swimming, football games, scholarly debates, and art competitions were not typically held in the Colosseum.
