Numbers, Numbers, Numbers! We are all numbered in one way or another! Even ancient Rome. Even though it is a magnificent structure, it pains me to think of the misery many endured to entertain others, within.

Ah, yes, Brenda. As an arena of ‘entertainment’, it was more properly a place of punishment and lessons to the rebellious. That the citizens nevertheless apparently enjoyed the carnage, brutality and suffering, considering it amusing, says a lot about human nature.

I like how you show a piece of the colloseum as a way of emphasising its structure. It’s otherwise so “collossal” that all the work and planning that went into it gets lost. I love the number above the arch; we still have so much of them with us now.

It’s quite a surprise how a system we feel is sophisticated and relatively new, was, in fact, going on over 2,000 years ago!

The word “colloseum” is used a lot here to describe sports arenas …

Thanks, Joni.
One small detail really caught my attention, so I had to find out about it. There’s a Roman numeral carved immediately above the arch. Apparently, this was so Roman citizens were able to enter the arena by the right door, using the number they were allocated, a method that reduced crowding, as there are very many entrances, and allowed the arena to be fully occupied in a short time. Those Romans certainly knew a thing or two!
