The Roman Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum

Here's a little info on the Colosseum. I can't believe I walked in the same confinement as once did Julius Caeser, Marcus Aurelius and the infamous Gladiators. 

The Roman Colosseum is the most famous monument to have survived from the classical world. It was built nearly two thousand years ago for the purpose of hosting violent gladiator games. Thousands of men and animals fought for their lives in the sandy arena. A few gladiators and warriors found glory there. Some even found fame and riches but many more died an anonymous death, providing entertainment for eager Roman spectators.
