Colosseum Complex, Scientific Education, Water Supply in Ancient RomeAbstract
The Colosseum complex, considered one of the most historically and symbolically significant cultural heritages of Roman civilisation, represents an architectural and cultural legacy that expresses the values, social practices, and ways of life of ancient Rome. It is also widely recognised worldwide as one of the richest educational heritages of ancient cultures. In this context, this study proposes an interdisciplinary approach that articulates scientific, heritage, and environmental education, understanding the Colosseum Complex as a privileged space for critical analyses, investigations, and reflections of a socio-environmental nature. To this end, qualitative, exploratory, and interventional research was conducted, analysing the Colosseum Complex from the perspective of water supply in ancient Rome, highlighting its pedagogical role in environmental and historical discussions and in strengthening scientific and environmental education, both for visiting audiences and for educators who work with the subject of Ancient Rome in the classroom context.
