The Coliseum and Surrounding Broken Stuff

It looked just like in the pictures...


Intrestingly, the Coliseum (Amphitheatrum Flavium) was built around the time that Luke wrote the book of Acts. I can imagine that the morter was hardly set before Christians were martyred in this place.





I didn't realize how much has been done over the years to try to repair this structure. I was a little let down by the quality of their workmanship.





FYI





The arch of somethin'





See if you can find the following places on the map above.
