I wouldn't have said small. It's not gargantuan but still a pretty large structure

I've never been there but even from the pictures it looks way smaller than how its portrayed in Gladiator. In Gladiator, it looks like a football stadium.

It used to be larger than it is now. There was another row around and another row on top of what you see today. It seated more than 60000 people. I’d grant it a status of „pretty large“. A visit to Rome I want to highly recommended.
