The Coliseum in Rome was built by Jewish slaves - and the arch next to it commemorates the pillaging of Jerusalem - tear it all down

My bad on the arch - must have been another arch that celebrated the destruction of Jerusalem

From Elkins, Nathan T. (2019). A Monument to Dynasty and Death: The Story of Rome's Colosseum and the Emperors Who Built It. Baltimore, MD

It is often assumed that Jewish prisoners of war were brought back to Rome and contributed to the massive workforce needed for the construction of the amphitheatre, but there is no ancient evidence for that; it would, nonetheless, be commensurate with Roman practice to add humiliation to the defeated population

The Coliseum in Rome was a site of genocide and persecution with victims fed to lions before a live audience. It was also the staging for Fascist rallies.
