Answer: Seats within the Colosseum were arranged in a tiered manner, which reflected ancient Roman hierarchy.

Explanation: These tiers included assigned seating arrangements for senators, non-senatorial noble citizens, soldiers, foreign dignitaries, scholars, and so on.

Answer:

Inside, the Colosseum had seating for more than 50,000 spectators, who may have been arranged according to social ranking but were most likely packed into the space like sardines in a can (judging by evidence from the seating at other Roman amphitheaters).
