If you've seen the film gladiator you will have marvelled at Ridley Scott's colosseum but this pales into insignificance when you see the real thing. Although this ancient arena has understandably suffered over the past 2000 years its glory is still apparent. As you see it impose itself on the skyline of Rome you are drawn towards it and as you walk up through the corridors which were once home to a mass of thousands of bloodthirsty plebs you can sense that something fantastic awaits you. The expectations are easily met as you come into the great theatre itself and look out across the vast stands and see the caverns below the stage which has since crumbled away. You can picture the cheering masses all around or the dark intimidating corridors where gladiators and animals alike lurked waiting to be sent out into the killing field above. This great monument to ancient Rome should not be missed when in the city and even amongst the other prestigious ruins it is still clearly number one.
