The Roman Heritage

We went to Verona last weekend. I did not know that Verona is a tourist spot until recently. The city is just an hour train from Trento.

One of the attraction in the city was the Arena. It is a roman amphiteater used for gladiator fights in the past and to host cultural events now. It is a large structure made entirely of stone (not bricks) . The structure resembles a modern day sports stadium. Perhaps the sport stadiums are modeled after amphiteaters to be able to house many people.

These two roman soldiers were posing outside of the Arena, attending to tourists who would like to take pictures. For a fee, of course. Cosplays do take a different theme here as compared to Japan.
