since I post a in the community is dedicated to my humble person, I can not pass.
First, briefly about me. My name is Julie, I have quite a lot of travel before every trip, I always read books about this country, guides, reports veteran. Upon return I will summarize my impressions and photo essay writing. They may in no way claim to truth in the last authorities, or scientific treatises on a particular subject, this is just my vision.
Secondly, the author of this post. More unstable person I Learn to open spaces have not yet met. If the post does not meet its "quality standards", then in the comments she pours a lot of dirt on the author, goes to the person and insults. I'm not just talking about my record, it regularly, "notes" in the comments of other authors in this community.
Third, if we are already talking about Christianity, I was very surprised at the comments in support of the author of this record. It turns out, we are now in favor trolls. Creativity is not in writing filth in the comments, and to himself that create something. But here, alas, again reduced to a cock.
While the Colosseum stands, Rome stands;
When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall;
And when Rome falls, the world will fall.
When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall;
And when Rome falls, the world will fall.
Paris - Eiffel Tower, Barcelona - Gaudi architecture, London - Big Ben, Rome - the Colosseum. Yes, that's Colosseum In my opinion, is the hallmark of Rome. The feel of his visit unspeakable: standing next to a monument of architecture, you realize that all that ancient history, about which you read in textbooks and which seemed so distant and untrue-it here, here and now, before your eyes - a direct proof the existence of the emperors, gladiators, the Roman Empire, life before CHRISTIANI.
In Rome, a lot of ruins, but if you do not have very good imagination (like me), then figure out what it was in ancient times on the site, for example, that these "three pillars" very difficult. But to play in the life of the mind Coliseum during his glory was a simple task, even for me. It is necessary to fill it with eighty thousand spectators sit in Caesar's imperial bed, Senators - at their place next to the railing, not to forget the aristocrats and Vestal, and then climb up to the mob, to the top because the audience took their seats in the Coliseum in strict accordance with the social hierarchy. There was a special officer called designators, which saw to it that people sit on their rightful place.
So many people gathered to enjoy the spectacle of another's suffering and death must have been terrified. Most writers of antiquity do not blame the public for mental backwardness and savagery. The world had to wait for Christianity - only if there are people who have had the courage and common sense to close these places and do away with such a spectacle
examining the Colosseum, start thinking about what fueled this savagery, how it all was arranged. Throughout the Empire officials were caught buying and wild animals for the arena, and over time the number of animals killed for the amusement of the crowd led to almost complete extinction of some species on the territories, subservient to Rome. Long before it was built the Colosseum, the public destruction of animals served as a popular prelude to the battles between gladiators. One scene had in the morning, another - on the afternoon. Once on the submission, which was attended by Cicero in 55 BC. er., six hundred lions were killed and eighteen elephants!
In Rome there were special schools, where people are trained to fight with beasts, and more different things for the amusement of the crowd. These specially trained people called venatores, considered to be below the rank than the gladiators. Such occupation could sentence criminals and to train them in the arena with wild beasts. Once built the Colosseum, the animals destined for the arena was kept in the zoo, called the Vivarium, on a nearby hill - Tselii. On the day of games they put in cages and taken to the Colosseum, then herded them into lifts and with the help of blocks and ropes stretched cells at the arena.
death of the animals should have brought the audience to the daily battle of the people. In imperial times there were four public schools, where gladiators trained and lived. There reigned a rigid discipline. People kept on a special diet and exercise in the use of all weapons: by the sword and spear to the net and lasso. Professional gladiator, like a modern movie star, was the idol of the crowd and the idol of women. With luck, their popularity has lasted a long time. History has preserved the names of experienced warriors, heroes, hundreds of battles, dobyvshih in battle "wooden sword", which was presented to them in the arena as a sign of honor care-deserved rest. Some received their gladiators could not even then leave the bloodstained arena, the habit of fame applause, delight in the battle return them back. In addition, attracted a lot of money.
In public schools there were countless private schools, where gladiators trained and kept by wealthy lovers like fun.
