Here's an ASCII image of part of the Colosseum. I had
to crop the photo because of the narrow margins of the
blog, but you can sort of see the arches.
I wrote my Rome essay about the 20,000 slaves that
built this theatre, and what slavery means today.
Luckily I didn't have to employ any slaves (or effort)
making this... http://www.text-image.com/ is just one
of many automatic ASCII generation sites online.
