Upon arrival in Rome to visit the aunt, which lives there, probably the biggest desire to visit the Colosseum, about which everyone is so much herself and everyone saw in the pictures. But I could not see and suggest all his grandeur, what I saw the sideline. The huge building, the story of which began in the first century of our era, and passes through many centuries and still does not cease to strive. The guided tour of the truth was somewhat expensive, as much as 60 euros, but since we arrived in the three - I, aunt and her Italian husband, then passed on a discount of only 40 euros per person. They included the cost for the entrance, which is only 12 euros if you go without a guide, and is valid for two days. But I did not regret the money spent, although the excursion and short, somewhere around an hour, but with the guide you know many interesting and informative stories. Like, for example, that in the antiquity of the Colosseum was called "Amphitheater Flaviev" by the dynasty of the emperors built it. Or where did the expression come from - "bread and spectacle". It turns out that the entrance to the submission to the Colosseum was free, and at the entrance to the amphitheater distributed flour - too, just like that. But nevertheless, a section on the estate was present in the Coliseum, and three tiers of the construction testify. At the first there were places of emperor and nobility, and on the third - ordinary people. The walk through the Amphitheater really liked and will be remembered for a long time, though it is very sorry that under the influence of the time and large city of destruction in it becomes more and more and more noticeable. True guide told that the Roman authorities are planning to complete the restoration of the construction. I really want to hope and see the plague of the Colosseum.
