Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 365.6 Hz, 121 cents flat of G4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
The Colosseum is a huge oval arena in Rome, Italy, built of stone and concrete about 2,000 years ago, and finished in the year 80. It could seat about 50,000 people, who came to watch shows and games. Much of it still stands, and it is one of the most visited places in the world.
Tap it for a chariot race: a crowd fills the seats, and four chariots in the old racing teams' colors, red, white, blue and green, race around the arena, swapping the lead, while the crowd jumps and cheers. In ancient Rome, the big chariot races were really held at the Circus Maximus, a long racetrack nearby.
