Today we finally got to see the inside of the colosseum. Since we were with an archeologist/tour guide, we were able to go to the under ground level and the third level. It is hard to imagine how the colosseum used to look. There used to be seating everywhere, and other than a little section, it is all gone now. Also, since the ground level has been torn up, you can see all the way to where the underground level is. If they had not had a reconstruction of what part of the ground (and fighting) level would have been on, it would be even harder to imagine what it looked like. Here is the link to the trailer from Gladiator, and it gives you a little bit of a sense of what it was like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvTT29cavKo
