//**Headline:Colossus! Colosseum opens its grisly gates**// //**Written by Nick Squires, Rome**// From this week, tourists will be able to visit the underground area of the Colosseum where the gladiators waited fto be called to battle. This is also the area where wild animals were caged. The article contains many interesting facts about the Colosseum. Reading it, opens up the imagination. I couldn't help thinking about how terrifying it would have been to be a gladiator, fighting an opponent or a wild animal in front of 50,000 people cheering for blood.

The article can be found in the website theage.com.au

I will try to attach a copy on the wikispace for interested students and teachers.
