The floor of the Colosseum - They had a miniature model of how the intricate system of pulleys moved the animals up out of their cages to fight the gladiators. The floor used to have a covering. What you are seeing is what was under the uncovered floor.

Gladiator Material or Lion Bait ?




Be careful ordering the soup of the day -- Matt ended up with a half gallon, excuse me, liter, of bland bean soup. Ooops. At least the bread and wine were good?

That is so fun that you guys just went to Rome. Amanda & I got back from there yesterday (August 8th). We actually left for Rome the day you got home :) Hopefully we'll have all our pics up soon. What an amazing place!
