    The claim that the "fractured" look of the Colosseum dates to damage sustained in 217 (repaired by 317, but not to its former state) contradicts the model of Rome circa 325 AD at the Museum of Roman Civilization. That model is considered a masterpiece of scholarship regarding the high point of the city's development. Does anyone out there know what the stadium actually looked like in 325 AD?
