We found a bit of wirless internet! While the Colosseum was not on my list of things I wanted to see in Italy, it should have been. Look at how beautiful it is. The construction of the Colosseum began in 72AD and still it stands in the center of Rome.
The structure was capable of seating around 50,000 spectators at one time. While today there are no gladiator shows happening, at it's peak the Colosseum was used for public entertainment hosting plays and even executions!
According to legend, the ancient Olympic Games were founded by Heracles; the Roman Hercules, a son of Zeus.
Now, bare with me for a moment...
I told you I live in a dream world sometimes...
What do you think? Think I could have been in the ancient Roman Olympics?
This guy might have had a better chance than me!
