It was used until 460 AD, because the Roman Empire was shrinking and they had ran out of money to pay for the animals that were hunted. The Colosseum was paid for by the Roman Empire as a symbol of power to its citizens. All of the tickets to the Colosseum were free and so was the food. The Emperor would wow you with exotic animals (lions, tigers, bears) that were hunted in the morning. At noon they had executions because ancient Rome had no jails. In the Afternoon there would be multiple gladiator battles at once. The emperor showed you the things Rome could get its hands on, then showed you its power at noon, and entertained you in the afternoon.

∙ 11y agoThe Colosseum was inaugurated in 80 AD and was used for games into the 6th century. The last record of a gladiatorial fight was in 485. There is a record of animal hunts in 523.
A small church was built inside the Colosseum in the 6th century. The place was also converted into a cemetery and many of the vaults in the arcades were converted into housing and workshops. There are records of the latter up to the 12th century.
