Reply #49: The Colosseum was not the center of Roman life. [View All]

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

There were 1,000,000 people in ancient Rome, give or take, and most of them had much better things to do then sit a stadium that sat 50,000.

And another technical error is that the Colosseum was hardly the largest building in ancient Rome. The Circus Maximus, for example, was much bigger.

But aside from all the stupid historical errors was the poorly thought out opinion. That these people are some sort of barbarians participating in a bloodsport analogous to the killing of actual human beings.

If you want ignorant and barbaric, look no further than post #26.
