Il Colosseo


I find the Colosseum more imposing from the outside than the inside. I have a hard time visualizing what it must have looked like in ancient times. I wonder what that Japanese guy thought when we commandeered the stairs he was sitting on and Kelsea began her presentation. Strange Americans. He seemed a bit stunned, but what was he going to do. We had him surrounded. I think of the movie Gladiator. I suppose it's inevitable, but somehow I wish I had a more substantial visual reference for the Colosseum in ancient times. Not just Russell Crowe in armor.
