Holiday in Rome by John Crascall-Kennedy
Here is a picture of the inside of the Colluseum in Rome. Gladiators, slaves would fight here or Christians would be eaten by lions! Of course now it is in ruins.

Before starting a fight the Gladiators would say to the Emperor “We who are about to die salute you”. Then they would fight to the death. At the and of the fight, the Emperor would put his thumbs up if the Gladitor should live. But he could only do once to each person, the second time he had to die, he can only save them once.



Wow! That’s really interesting, what great research and pictures. Do you think you can put some more information on so that we can learn even more?
The pictures of the colosseum look fantastic. I have never been to Rom, but looking at the pictures make me really want to visit. Did you go there Ms Etchells?
Fantastic pictures John. You must have had a great time in Rome.

No Miss Wray, these are all John’s photos. I’ve never been to Rome! But i have been to Tunisia and visited El Jem, a very well preserved amphitheatre – I will add some photos soon!
Well done John. This is a most interesting piece of work and the photo’s are great. Makes me wish wI had been there too. I do believe you are showing a great ability in portraying the subject matter which you obviously enjoy. Keep up the good work John. Look forward to seeing more.
