Coliseum. The strangest thing that we learned is that most Christians were not martyred there. However, people WERE killed there. During the lunch break the intermission show was usually of a myth. If someone died in the myth, then someone died in the re-enactment of the myth. So, a slave was usually picked to play the doomed soul.

We also went through the Roman Forum to see quite a few marvels. We walked on the same road as Caesar and Cleopatra, stood on Julius Caesar’s rostrum (where he made speeches) and discussed Constantine at the emperor’s arch.
