b. First storey and upper corridor.

c. Second storey and vomitoria.

d. Third storey, passage, and vomitoria.

e. Fourth storey with vomitoria.

It has not been generally observed that there are so many floors or storeys in the Colosseum. Two of these are only subdivisions for the vomitoria, still, to give a complete idea of the whole building, it was necessary to have them.
