In the afternoon, Lin Yu did not continue to participate in the auction, but played in Rome with Elena.

I still like Roman Lin Yu very much, this used to be the most manly place, the ancient Roman Colosseum!. [

The Roman Hippodrome, formerly known as the Flavin Amphitheater, was built between 72 and 82 AD on the site of the Italian capital Rome in the center of Rome, south of the Arena in Venice and near the Roman market. In appearance, it is perfectly round; When viewed, it is oval.

The Colosseum, also translated as the Colosseum, the Colosseum, the Colosseum, Colossium, Colossium, formerly known as the Flavin Amphitheater, is located in the center of Rome, Italy, is the largest circular gladiatorial arena in ancient Rome, built in 72-82 AD by 40,000 prisoners of war in 8 years, and now only remains remain. The Colosseum was built for savage slave owners and hooligans to watch gladiatorial fights. In terms of function, scale, technique and artistic style, the Colosseum is one of the masterpieces of ancient Roman architecture. The speed with which it was built is also a miracle.

The Colosseum is flat and oblong, which is equivalent to the relative integration of the auditoriums of two ancient Roman theaters. The Colosseum has a long axis of 188m and a short axis of 156m, and the "performance area" of the central part of the Colosseum has a long axis of 86m and a short axis of 54m. The auditorium has about 60 rows of seats, which rise row by row and are divided into five zones. The first zone in front is the seat of honor, the last two zones are the seats of the lower classes, and in the middle are the knights and other citizens with relatively high status. The seats of honor are more than 5 meters higher than the "performance area", and there is also a height difference of more than 6 meters between the lower audience seats and the knights' seats, and the security measures for the upper echelons of society are tight. The upper auditorium has its back against the wall of the façade. The total rising slope of the auditorium is close to 62c/o, and the viewing conditions are very good.

The Colosseum was built by three emperors of the Flavian dynasty, and its official name is the Flavian Hippodrome. It was built as part of a series of campaigns initiated by the families of this new dynasty to raise their standing in the public. Vespacian (69-79 AD) was the founder of this dynasty, and his birth was not noble; In the year following Nero's suicide, Rome experienced the failed reigns of three more short-lived emperors. Wespasion then sat on the throne. Nero was not forgotten then; The vast expanse of land and other luxuries he had devoured had aroused the anger of the people. So when Wespasian decided to fill in the artificial lake that belonged to Nero's lavish Golden Palace, turning it into a place of public entertainment, almost no one objected.

The Hippodrome of Ancient Rome, which was transported to Rome by a special road, was the largest circular arena in Rome. It is believed that about 300 tons of iron were used to make grappling hooks that connected the stones. From the outside, the Colosseum consists of a series of circular arcades on 3 floors, with the highest 4th floor being the Penthouse. The stone columns in these 3 tiers of arcades are designed according to classical standards (from the ground, Dorian, Ionian and Corinthian style). Beneath the eaves of the 4th floor are 240 hollow protrusions, which are used to place sticks to support the "Vela."

The ium was the shade canvas of the Lù Sky Theatre, which was propped up by the sailors of the Royal Fleet to help keep spectators protected from the heat, rain and cold, thus making the Colosseum a transparent 1st-century arena.

The Colosseum can accommodate about 50,000 spectators. There are 3 tiers of seats; The lower, middle and upper floors, with a stand-only stand on the top floor, were reserved for the lowest members of society: women, slaves and the poor. But even on other levels, the seats were arranged according to social status and occupation: special boxes owned by members of the royal family and the consecrated ladies who watched the flame. The senators, dressed in white sè and red-trimmed robes, sit in the "choir seats" on the same floor; And so on were the samurai and the commoners. There are also special seats for people in different professions, such as soldiers, writers, scholars, and teachers. as well as foreign monks, etc. Spectators enter the Colosseum through 80 arched entrances on the first floor, and a further 160 exits spread across the seats on each floor, known as spouts, through which spectators can pour in and out, allowing the chaotic and out-of-control crowd to be quickly evacuated, which is said to be emptied in just ten minutes.

"It's a symbol of men, and if Christie's auctioned it, I think I'd buy it." Stand on it. Lin Yu said to Elena proudly.

"This was ours." Elena said with a smile.

"Uh......" Lin Yu was stunned.

"Italy can be said to be the territory of the Welf family, and the ownership of the Colosseum in ancient Rome belongs to our family, but of course, the right to use it belongs to the Italian and Roman governments." Elena said.

Lin Yu was speechless, co-authoring this good thing now has a master.

"Elena, can I get a ticket?" Lin Yu changed the subject.

Elena raised her small fist. smiled and said, "Don't look at who I am." ”

Seeing Elena like this, Lin Yu laughed.

The two stayed in the arena for a while, then went to the Pantheon.

In the center of Rome, there is a fountain with a tall spired monument carved with scenes from ancient Roman mythology on the base of the monument, which is located in the vestibule of the Pantheon in Rome.

The Pantheon is the only Roman Empire building that has survived intact to this day, and was built in 27-25 BC by Agrippa, the son-in-law of Octavian, the first emperor of the Roman Empire. It is dedicated to the gods of Mount Olympia and is a classic building of the Augustan period. A fire in 80 AD destroyed most of the Pantheon, leaving only 16 huā granite pillars as high as a rectangular colonnade. This section was used as the portico of the later rebuilt Pantheon, and the top of the portico is engraved with the memorial xìng inscription of the first construction period, and the original scale of the Pantheon can still be seen from the eight huge columns on the front of the portico.

THE INSCRIPTION ON THE PANTHEON IS THE WORD MAGRIPPALFCOSTERTIVMFECIT, WHICH IS LATIN, AND ITS Chinese MEANING IS: "MARCUS AGRIPBA, SON OF LYCIUS AND THIRD CONSUL, BUILT THIS TEMPLE". It is worth noting the TE here

tivm means three, which is supposed to be te in Latin

tium, but because it was difficult to engrave u in ancient times, v was used instead.

The main building of the Pantheon is a high rotunda built by Adriano the Great in 120-124 AD, which still houses all the Roman gods. In 609 AD, the Pantheon was given to the Pope, and it was immediately converted into a Catholic church, which kept many relics inside, and was renamed the church of Santa Maria, which was later designated as the national church of Italy by the Lateran Entente. It is for this reason that the Pantheon survived later and was not destroyed as a pagan building.

The Pantheon is a masterpiece of ancient Roman architectural art. The diameter of the base plane of the Pantheon is also equal to the height. The lower half of the Pantheon is hollow cylindrical, starting at half the height and the upper half is a hemispherical dome, the thickness of the walls of the dome gradually decreases, the thickness of the lower wall is 6 meters, the same thickness as the lower half of the Pantheon, and the top is reduced to 1.5 meters. In order to make the decreasing thickness of the dome wall more conducive to the stability of the overall building of the Pantheon, the inner wall of the dome of the Pantheon is neatly divided into 5 rows of 28 grids, each of which is carved and concave from top to bottom, which not only makes the decreasing wall thickness more reasonable, but also increases the beauty of the interior of the Pantheon.

The style of the Pantheon's decoration has changed a lot. A large number of decorations, such as bronze sculptures depicting the battle of gods and men during the worship of the gods, were largely replaced after being converted into a church, and the original statues of Octavian and Agoliba are no longer there. The bronze gate at the entrance of the temple originally echoed the gilded copper tiles covered by the dome and the portico slabs, and now the copper tiles have long been used as other routes, leaving only the beautifully carved bronze gate to guard the passing momentum. The Pantheon is wide and empty, without a single pillar, and there is a circular hole with a diameter of 9 meters at the top of the dome, which is the only source of light in the entire Pantheon.

Lin Yu didn't have any feelings about the Pantheon, but Elena was very interested in the Pantheon, and Lin Yu had no choice but to endure Xìngzi and Elena to go around the Pantheon.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and Jerry finally received a notice that Lin Yu's review was approved and he could participate in the evening auction, the number was eighty-seven, and he had to take away the identity mark before half past seven.

After getting this result, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, since he learned that everything could be bought at the auction at night, Lin Yu had been very curious. Lin Yu had already heard from Elena that not only aircraft technology had appeared in the evening auction, but even nuclear warheads had appeared once, and no one knew who bought them in the end.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu shook his head, no wonder some terrorist organizations always threaten others that they will have nuclear bombs, and the underground forces are crazy and more powerful than anyone else, I really don't know how they got the nuclear warheads, and how they dared to sell them.

The two of them played with Elena until five o'clock, and the two returned to their lodgings to clean up before coming to the auction site.

Less than seven o'clock, Lin Yu got his own identity mark, the so-called identity mark is a number plate made of pure gold, there is a very complex pattern behind the brand, the auction people only recognize the card but not the person, no matter who can not enter without this brand.

In addition, when the sign arrives at the auction venue, it will be taken away and disrupted, and finally packed in a bag and distributed to everyone, so that no one knows who the real bidder is at the auction, and even if you know who is participating, you will not know who bought the item.

"Eighty-seven, it seems that the seller is not full this time!" Jerry looked at Lin Yu's sign and sighed loudly.

"Why do you say that?" Lin Yu put away the sign and asked.
