Step back in time to the heart of ancient Rome, where the roar of the crowd rivaled the clash of swords, and the sands of the arena were stained with the stories of bravery, betrayal, sheer spectacle and blood. The Colosseum wasn’t just a stadium; it was a symbol of an empire’s power and its people’s unyielding thirst for entertainment.
In this episode, we uncover the secrets behind the engineering marvel that has withstood the test of time, delve into the lives of the gladiators who fought for survival, and explore the myths and truths behind the games that captivated an empire.
Get ready for a front-row seat to history’s greatest show—and today, we enter the gates of the Colosseum!
