Summary
The Colosseum's missing half is attributed to earthquakes, neglect, and stone pillaging over centuries. While the southern side collapsed in 1349, the northern side was preserved by popes for ceremonial purposes. The structure's decline reflects both natural disasters and human exploitation, leading to its current state as a historical monument.
