windy day at The Colosseum, Rome


The Colosseum (Il Coloseo) and the ruins. It takes 2 hours to see everything in it. Line up was not long at l (winter time), 10 min, the most. Windy day. I was thinking many blood had shed here. But then after reading the history, it was also used for Exhibiting different animals from around the world, hunters show, trading place, fashion show, gladiators, kitchen shows, etc…. So it wasn’t just a killing filed, but also a “marketing” place. Big publicity media and venue.
