The text states that approximately 500,000 people and over a million animals were killed at the Colosseum.

The claims regarding deaths at the Colosseum contain varying historical estimates. For the claim about human deaths, web evidence suggests figures ranging from 400,000 to 500,000 deaths over centuries. For animal deaths, the evidence suggests numbers possibly reaching over a million, though precise historical records are scant and may include exaggerations. Both claims are based on estimates from historical sources rather than precise records, leading to uncertainty and variability in the figures provided.
