The downtown view of the Roman Empire in the film was built by 200 British technicians and 100 Maltese craftsmen in 19 weeks. The Colosseum is the central building of the film’s location. After seeing the real Roman Colosseum, the director Ridley Scott thought that the arena used for filming the film was too small, so the production designer followed the British and French romanticism. The painter's work expanded the arena. The construction of the arena fully complied with the original, but due to limited time and space, it was impossible for the crew to complete a complete full-scale replica, so the construction team of art director Arthur Marks only built the first floor of the original three-story structure. , And the circumference is only one-third of the actual object, and the remaining part is completed by CGI technology.
