Seeing Xu Qing's naughty appearance, Wang Zixuan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and make a pinching motion, and then immediately felt inappropriate, and said with a casual smile: "Although the ninth emperor of ancient Rome, Wei Paxiang, ended the war at home and abroad and closed the temple of Janus, but it did not change the style of the Romans to enjoy themselves.

The Colosseum was ordered to be built in 72 AD, but when he died, the Colosseum was not yet completed, and his son Titus succeeded to the throne, and the Colosseum was completed in 82 years, which took 10 years.

The Colosseum was the largest circular gladiatorial arena in ancient Rome and one of the iconic buildings of the Roman Empire.

The entire Colosseum is oval in shape, with a major axis of 188 meters and a minor axis of 156 meters. The perimeter is 527 meters long, and the center is the performance area, and the floor is paved with wooden planks during the performance. ”

Wang Zixuan pointed to the lattice below and said, "The planks are on top of these lattices, and inside these lattices are the storage of props, beasts, and gladiators, and then they will be hoisted to the ground at the beginning of the performance." ”

Xu Qing said: "It's so cruel! Listen to the fight below. ”

Wang Zixuan nodded and said, "Well, I can only hear it, it's obviously more terrifying than standing in the stands." ”

Zhang Kaili said: "I guess someone must have been scared to death. ”

Wang Zixuan shook his head and said, "I guess there shouldn't be." There were many gladiatorial arenas in Rome, and those who could come here were selected from various regions, and even slaves would go through ...,w⊙ww. Maybe they'll be scared of the war, but they shouldn't be scared to death. ”

"It's horrible, just think about that scene of a human-beast fight." Zhang Kaili still looked like she couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Wang Zixuan said: "For most people, the gladiatorial arena is estimated to be a nightmare-like existence. But for some, it's a place to get money and honor. In addition to slaves, there were also some people who worked as gladiators for money or honor. Not all gladiators were executed when they failed, and when they failed, they could intercede with the audience. If the viewer thumbs up, they can escape, and if the viewer thumbs down. They will be killed. According to archaeologists and historians, gladiators had strict rules, most likely a bloodless art, and did not necessarily kill gladiators. ”

Zhang Kaili said: "If that man and beast fight, it will not be uncontrollable." ”

Wang Zixuan nodded and said: "If you fight between man and beast, defeat will mean death, so it was later abolished."

In addition to gladiatorial fights, the Colosseum could also use aqueducts to bring in water. In 248 A.D., water was introduced into the performance area to form a lake, and the scene of naval battles was staged. Come and celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of Rome.

The upper grandstand has 60 rows, divided into five sections, the one closest to the gladiatorial area is the seat of the emperor, the senator, the priest and others, carved from a single block of marble, and there is a five-meter high drop from the performance area, the second and third areas are the seats of knights and Roman citizens; The 4th and 5th arrondissements were reserved for ordinary freemen (including freed slaves), and all stands had a capacity of 87,000 people. There are longitudinal aisles leading to exits at intervals of the stands, making it easy for people to enter and exit. In total, there are 80 arches that allow people to enter and exit, preventing accidents. ”

Liu Tao said: "This is similar to a modern stadium!" ”

Wang Zixuan nodded and said, "The Colosseum can be said to be a template for a modern stadium. There is also a canopy suspended by a suspension cable in the auditorium. It is used to shelter from the wind and rain. These canopies are controlled like sails by sailors standing on the topmost colonnade. It is said that Rome once stationed 1,000 sailors who were responsible for erecting the canopy.

When the Colosseum was built, the Romans celebrated for 100 days, with 3,000 gladiators and 5,000 beasts of prey.

Reputedly. There was a comedy by a famous playwright who was performing, but suddenly someone said that there was a gladiatorial fight that was about to start, and all the spectators rushed to the gladiatorial arena at once, and the comedy performance had to end.

It can be seen how much the ancient Romans loved gladiatorial fighting. ”

Zhang Kaili was a little puzzled and said: "What's so good about gladiatorial fighting?" ”

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "Bloody competition is always attractive. UFC Ultimate Fighting Tournament and WWE Wrestling Show in the United States. Their audience is no less than those of those popular American dramas, and a significant part of the audience is women, as well as various boxing matches. ”

Wang Zixuan took two steps back. Left jab, right straight, left hook.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Each punch would break through the air and make a sound similar to a sonic boom, and Xu Qing and Zhang Kaili, who bore the brunt of the blow, were caught off guard and immediately screamed in fright.

Wang Zixuan punched a combination punch and said with a wicked smile: "That's right, the scene is full of screams like this." ”

Xu Qing patted Wang Zixuan and said coquettishly: "I hate it, scare us." ”

Wang Zixuan made another boxing action and said with a smile: "I just want to tell my sisters that this kind of men's sport is indeed very attractive." Quietly, if it weren't for the high force, I would have gone to those boxing rings and fighting rings to play. ”

Zhang Kaili said: "Who dares to fight you!" Crush the floor with one kick, and I reckon you can kill a cow with one punch. ”

"Is there a fan of a martial arts master?" Wang Zixuan looked at the sky with an arrogant expression.

Xu Qing smiled: "Yes, it's especially like Dongfang Undefeated." ”

"Haha"

Liu Tao and the others were amused by Xu Qing.

Wang Zixuan pinched his orchid fingers, glanced at Xu Qing and said, "Do people have such a mother?" ”

"Hahaha"

The four daughters were teased by Wang Zixuan again.

Zhang Kaili smiled and said, "The younger brother is the most unorthodox prince. ”

Xu Qing smiled: "Your fans will be shocked when they see it." ”

Wang Zixuan shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's good to be free, you don't have to live for others to see." You can be willful with or without money. ”

Zhao Jing nodded and said, "The little brother lives transparently. ”

Xu Qing said mischievously: "I also want to be willful, I don't want to shoot a show, is it okay?" ”

Wang Zixuan smiled: "No, how can you be capricious in your work!" For example, if the people who built the Colosseum were willful and put one less brick, we would not have to fall. ”

Zhang Kaili looked at her feet and said, "I'm still a little scared." We're standing on top of a building that's almost 2,000 years old, is it really okay? ”

Wang Zixuan smiled: "Then let's hurry up." I'll also wrap you up.

Gladiatorial fighting between gladiators was banned in Rome in 438 AD, and human-animal fighting was not banned until 523 AD. Two powerful earthquakes in 442 and 508 AD caused severe damage to the Colosseum structure, which was not protected in any way during the Middle Ages, so the damage was further exacerbated and was later simply used as a pillbox. In the 15th century, the Holy See demolished part of the stone of the Colosseum to build the church and the Privy Council. It was not until 1749 that the Holy See declared it a holy place on the grounds that Christians had been martyred here in the early years, and protected it. We can only see these relics today. ”
