The similarities with the VMs illustration are minimal.

While in the Vatican example, there are vertical lines, some circles and some plain nebuly lines at the base of the rainbow on either side. Much of this is painted brown, potentially representing the earth in the background. It doesn't look like the generation of precipitation is a significant aspect of the Vatican illustration.

Presumably at the Coliseum was a similar hinged roof. That is, this rosette depicts the process of collecting rainwater from the roof ( of tent).
The artist is has combined view from the top, and isometric, so in the background is not painted drops, and from the front flowing "stream".
