So, while the efforts to manifest the impressive amphitheater were the work of the Flavian emperors, in some regards, one could suggest that Nero's legacy also lives on with this connection to his Colossus. This massive statue, though, has long since disappeared. Last mentioned in an illuminated manuscript from the fourth century CE, it is unclear what happened to the Sol sculpture. <ref> <i>Calendar of 354</i> http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/index.htm#Chronography_of_354</ref> It was most likely destroyed or melted down; its pedestal adjacent to the Colosseum, however, still stands today.
