Gladiator Games Reborn

This article talks about the firsthand account of the author and her sons on a trip to Rome. On their vacation in Rome the mother, with her children, traveled to the Colosseum where the games which once took place there are being reborn and relived; all within the safety requirements of course. The first thing that happens is that you are led through a yard littered with weapons and taken into a small museum, which tells about the history of the Colosseum and the gladiatorial games that took place there. The tour guide that led the family, Nero, took a hands on approach to the learning by putting the different types of helmets on the children, and showing them how each had its advantage and disadvantage. From there you can do one of two tings; you can either watch a reenacted gladiatorial game, or you can take the course which takes you through the gladiatorial training program. http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/europe/italy/see-ya-later-gladiator/2008/10/09/1223145541647.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap2
