Correct answer: Travertine

Travertine limestone, quarried in nearby Tivoli, forms the main load-bearing pillars of the Colosseum. Over 100,000 cubic meters of this stone were transported to Rome using a purpose-built road. The stone was held together not by mortar, but by thousands of iron clamps. Photo: Frank Schulenburg, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0.
