Roaming in Rome February 6, 2009

Rome- the great city with almost three thousand years of history overflowing at every inch and corner. There are so many monuments, each and everyone of them grand and resplendent. However, more than half of them were lying in ruins and covered with history and forgotten memories. Still, Rome is indeed an impressive city. 

The Colosseum, the massive monument which requires alot of imagination in order to picture what it was, rather than what it is now. Imagine such a huge and I would say technologically, achitecturally advanced arena thousands of years ago, being filled with 11, 000 beasts and gladiators. Whoa! Must have been a spectacle and a terrible waste wasn’t it? All for the entertainment and sport for the rich and powerful. How many people would have died there?
