“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23. We are all sinners. We have all lied, or stolen, looked at women that are not our wives in a sexual way at least once before. Good deeds can't wash away what sins we have done. "10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips: 14 Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes." Romans 3:10-18. We are all sinners. We all deserve to go to hell. However, there is good news. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23. We have all sinned but since Jesus died for us and rose again, we can be saved. If we repent and trust in Jesus alone for our salvation we shall be saved. We must forsake our sins and not be hypocrites. We will not be sinless or perfect but we will get a new heart that hates sinning and desires to live a Holy life out of love and appreciation for what Jesus did. Repent and trust Jesus alone my friend. Trust that Jesus died for your sins, is The Son of God and rose again on the third day and now is sitting at the right hand of God. May Jesus Bless you, open your eyes and keep you.

The funny thing is, the amphitheater was actually not the BIGGEST place for Romans to get entertainment. That honor goes to the Circus Maximus. The largest race track in human history. Only larger tracks are not in stadiums, but even then it gave long distance tracks a run for their money.

Thanks for sharing your informative and entertaining documentaries.

Great video, just a few comments : - Pollice verso : it was most likely more of a hand gesture than a thumb up or down - Crowds : Executions happened at mid day and most people would walk out from the heat and gore to have lunch. Only servants and slaves would remain - Bestiarii and gladiator combats were two separate shows, the former was hosted in the morning and did not involve gladiators - the "Ave Cesar, morituri te salutant" symbolic phrase was not custumary and was actually spoken only once.

Loving this content

I was stationed in Italy in the '80's and got to go to Rome several times. I loved it. The collesium is big. They didn't have the recreated wooden flooring back then and I didn't know much about how it actually operated so after seeing the basement, I was confused about how the fights took place within the corridors. I learned later that there was a floor above what we could see "now." I'd love to be able to go back and see it one more time.

Gladiators smells like coffin

As the actual action in the Collosseum was extremely bloody and dangerous, it has been wildly exaggerated over the years, such as with the lions and Christians myths and the whole emperor putting people to death all the time with a gesture The fact that many gladiators were skilled, trained fighters who made a career in the ring, as opposed to just being slaves snd criminals fighting to the death - these men were actually very valuable performers, and whilst their fights were definitely brutal and sometimes fatal, it was often played up to appear more violent than it was The swords were blunted in a way that non-lethal injuries would be sustained, and they'd target parts of the body that would absorb the most damage and spill a convincing amount of blood Not too dissimilar as to how wrestlers today will blade their forehead to create a superficial wound, but a lot of blood for the blood-hungry crowd In fact, you really could look at the ancient gladiator fights as being pretty damn close to the type of entertainment we have with wrestlers today They would reenact battles and so were staged fights, and when it was real they were pulling their punches and not always aiming to kill - they were aiming for a good show. They were celebrities wirh their own damn theme music when they'd enter the ring in lieu of the band, and of course there's the whole merchandise slew of things People did die in those rings, and in horrific ways. But it was entertainment that was first and foremost and because good fighters required years of training and experience, having one of them die in near every fight is a waste of talent It's the reason the emperor was often quite forgiving when it came to the whole thumbs up and down shit These men were beloved professional athletes and skilled in what they did; not easily replaceable when you want a good show put on. That can't be guaranteed when you just toss criminals and slaves into the ring The gladiators trained specifically in how to make the fights interesting for entertainment
