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.
