Step inside The Colosseum and then stop for a moment. Stop everything and look around you; let your imagination carry you back to a day in Ancient Rome. Standing in the exact spot where you are, a gladiator once stood. Perhaps sword in hand, ready to fight for their life! The baying crowd shouting and screaming for his blood! It’s a chilling thought and thankfully one you don’t have to witness today.
