The issues this monument has faced over the decades have been natural disasters such as earthquakes and flooding, world war bombs, neglect, oversight and vandalism. By the early 1950’s, nearly two-thirds of the Colosseum had been destroyed (source C). This includes the marble seats and the ancient stone being washed away and eroded. The colosseum will suffer from more crumbling over the years to come from these natural disasters. Another issue the colosseum might face in the future years is a bigger slant on the south side. This is created as the ground moves underneath the colosseum, the foundations beginning to crack more due to the vibration from cars and transport, plus other advanced technologies moving the soil/foundation underneath.
