JGolomb Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Check out this video... A giant video installation at Rome's Colosseum was used to create the impression that the ancient ampitheatre was on fire. The installation was designed to shock people into taking better care of their cultural heritage. Organisers said that at least 100,000 people observed the illusion.

Bryaxis Hecatee Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I love the journalist's "it's not the first time the Colosseum burns, the first time was in 64 A.D. ..."... Surely the BBC can do better ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecimusCaesar Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 The poor old Colosseum might not have been damaged by the Great fire of Rome in AD 64 (considering it wasn't around back then) but it's masonry was looted continuosly throughout the Middle Ages.

Tribunicus Potestus Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Did one of Crassus' descendents come forward offering to buy it on the cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
