Depending on whether you truly want it pre- or post-render:
Pre-render: Create/find 2d picture of scenery. Save in a folder where you can find it again. Create new Poser file. From menu choose File: Import: Background picture and choose your saved pic. (If you want your Poser render to retain the size/proportions of the 2d pic, choose "do NOT resize to fit window" when the option appears.) Pose your figure against the backdrop pic, and render. The pic shows up in the render.
Post-render compositing: Create your Poser figure, render, and save the render as .Tiff (.TFF) file (which has an alpha channel mask for the figure). Open the Poser render in chosen paint program, use alpha mask to select the Poser figure, then copy and paste into scenery pic to composite them together.
As for "building a colosseum" that would take either another 3d program to model and render it; a paint program to make a picture from scratch; or lastly, using a photo.
Hope this helps. I'm sure more answers will be available if you have more questions.
