Whilst attending a conference in Rome I was lucky enough to be given a 2 hour tour of this city by the conference's host. This naturally included a trip to the Colosseum - a definite "must see" when in Rome.
Cheek by jowl with the buildings and traffic of modern Rome it dominates the surrounding area. It is a real pleasure just to stroll around this site with your head full of no doubt highly inaccurate Hollywood generated images of gladiatorial combats and ancient Christians being fed to the lions.
When in Rome do find time to go and see this icon of the Roman empire - you will not be disappointed.
