| The Colisseum was within walking distance of the Tourist House |
And we were impressed with its immensity. |
It's right at the edge of the whole Ancient World - here the Arch of Constantine |
And you can look across to the Forum |
and down to the ancient Baths |
It's quite impressive |
| You go in, and at first it looks like any other stadium |
Then you walk through an arch.. |
and you're astonished at its immensity. |
The real action went on below the surface... |
and you can see a bit of the ancient flooring. |
and the royal booths |
| There's a nice museum in the upper halls |
with mosaics |
and the charming scribe |
You can see the construction here |
For me it's a big deal to be here... |
but for another, it's where she walks her dog. |
