Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum

This is an example of what it might have looked like in the colosseum. People came early in the day and grilled food, made drawings on the steps, fought, played games, drank, gambled and waited for the shows. (This is my picture of a pic)
This reconstruction shows how the sub floor of the colosseum contained wild animals that would be released on the arena through trap doors. Also my picture of a pic.
Five levels to see the show. 
Level 1 is for the emperor and senators,
 Level 2 the Army or other important people
Level 3 & 4 Common People
Level 5 Slaves and women
This my picture of what we could see from the top!
The bathroom. Sponges were used to clean yourself...I don't know the details:/
The ladies that kept the fire burning. 
Roman Road made with obsidian, a volcanic rock.

A courtyard is left from an emperor's home, a place to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
This is a caper plant. 

Grilled octopus appetizer.

Mike picked out one of these fish for lunch!
This could have fed 6-8 people. I'm not sure who to blame, Mike or our waiter!
