Uncovering the Colosseum's Secrets: Wild beast, Naval Battles and Gladiators | SLICE EXPERTS

[@lannes2068]

Just came back from visiting the Colosseum. What a place. Amazing documentary.

[@KnightOwl_X7]

from videos I've seen, the colosseum appears smaller from the inside than I expected. did you think this too or are the videos not doing it justice?

[@oluffriesthomsen7680]

@@KnightOwl_X7 It actually is not that big, if you mean the floor area. Still amazing.

[@historicalowl-n2m]

What types of performances were held in the Colosseum during the Roman Empire?

[@lannes2068]

@@KnightOwl_X7 We're used to gigantic stadium and arenas. It so, SO big for its time.

[@lannes2068]

@@historicalowl-n2m Hunts the morning, gladiator fights the afternoon, other types like public executions from time to time. Nothing too shabby.

Today I visited the Fabian Amphitheater (Colosseum) in Rome. This is an insane piece of art! This documentary helped me understand many things. This is the best doc on KZbin about the Colosseum.

[@samosamo4258]

The best documentary ever about the Colosseum 👏👏

[@charliebritting1642]

I wish I lived in that time it must of been something to see in its glory

[@rayvanbulletantmartinez]

Thanks!

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

It is a wonderful documentary about one of the construction miracles of the Roman Empire civilization named Rome coloesseum...thanks for sharing

[@ericbaker9688]

Barbarism? Considering this was their social media of that time and such events easily compared to 19 out of 20 people glued to their phones. How did women stomach that! Being disemboweled by a lion must’ve been off the charts.

[@pedroalmeida1468]

Its a pity that such a good documentary is destroyed by constant adverts. Eventually gave up watching. Good luck.

[@ericbaker9688]

Good point Pedo Media! 😏

[@UCMICU]

Wonderful historical structure

[@DUYBO55]

Gladiator 2 brought me here

[@historicalowl-n2m]

Who were the emperors responsible for building the Colosseum, and in which century was it constructed?

[@charliebritting1642]

Emperor Vespasian he started constructing it 72 A.D. It was open in 80. A.d right after Pompeii of Mount Vesuvius in Herculaneum destruction in 79. AD

[@TheRealTomahawk]

I’m surprised no one ever used their riches to rebuild this type of thing

[@MONTE12ax7]

if Tome loves the Colisium so much, why did they allow it to go into a trash pile ruin. The ppl that built the Colusium are dead. The ppl living there now see it only as a tourist trap. You need to understand history. If you got this wrong how can I trust the rest of this vudeo?

[@amplifitnessuk]

Géza Alföldy was a Hungarian Historian not German. He was a professor at the Heidelberg University but still Hungarian. Please fact check before publishing the episodes.

[@picassomooon]

Maybe don’t get your facts from KZbin

[@amplifitnessuk]

@picassomooon I don't but many people do, so it is important not to share fake facts.

[@ShitterMcGavin]

I absolutely LOVE stuff like this!!!! Great documentary, even better channel!!

[@cadderley100]

We still have gladiatorial combat in Arena's. It's called Boxing and UFC. What do you think that they are based on? The thing is, not everybody is the same. It's the same now as it was two thousand years ago. Ring side seats now are not priced the same as cheap seats up in the rafters. The expensive seats back then though, were around the emperor's box. The wealthy sat around the emperor, while the Cheap Seats were everywhere else. Today, the cheap seats are in the rafters, and the expensive seats are ring side.

[@prayermanone]

NEVER forget the cruelty and brutality of the Roman Empire. The cruelty to various minorities and non-Romans.

[@cadderley100]

@@prayermanone We'll be asking for reparation money from the Italians for the atrocities that the Roman empire committed 2,000 years ago next thing you know.

[@joshstorie246]

What drugs you on 🤡

[@southeastcoastalphotography]

51:37 this scene is completely unnecessary you have great shots of a wolf running in the Flavian Amphitheater for the first time in probably 1,450 years or at least that long since humans put them in there on purpose. There was no need for a shot of the elevator guy pretending to hang himself.

[@Bobcat9]

To say something is "completely unnecessary" and then state no premise or give no reason to conclude that... is the definition of an unqualified opinion, and in this case, also unsolicited. Which you then followed with another unsolicited, unqualified and therefore meaningless opinion that "There was no need..." Please explain how your opinion here isn't also "completely unnecessary." Please explain the "need" Slice Experts have for it. Or do you think that they are entitled to your opinion? While I acknowledge that my opinion here is also unsolicited, it is not unqualified and meaningless like yours. People like you need to be reminded that opinions are like assholes and yours stinks.

[@Sassari2930]

Would you have preferred a lion?? What are you on about? Did you understand the point of the experiment?

[@adamsmith5828]

Oh shut up... 🙄

[@southeastcoastalphotography]

So guys I just don’t like joking about suicide

[@Bobcat9]

@ Ok. Then don’t joke about suicide. Is anyone forcing you to? The way you think and feel about suicide isn’t universal and just because you don’t like it does not constitute “completely unnecessary.” Since you’re not the judge of what necessarily or unnecessarily went into this production, how about you come up with a reason other than your feelings to say “there was no need for…”

Exactly

[@gustavovelazquez9183]

Is it any different than modern animal experiments 😳

[@williamberven-ph5ig]

Maybe just a thought for the slaves too. I know they're not animals, so not really important. Jus-sayin.

[@TheCrystalShip51]

Man has dominion over animals ,who cares now , thts was a way of life back then

[@Vort317545]

One has to ask, have we really changed at all. Go any any American Football stadium. and watch the crowd's behavior as down on the stadium floor as the modern-day gladiators in armor still battle it out to the death. Though symbolically and safely (for the most part) none the less it's to the death. And the crowd reactions in the stand are still the same.

[@prayermanone]

Thinking and behavior that seem ingrained in humans and were definitely NOT what God the Creator could have intended. The failing is humans' finite minds.

All that took place was there was killing and destruction and they saved all that the Romans build. I wouldn’t go there to see that. They were mean and cruel. I don’t support that kind of stuff.

[@cherylmarcuri5506]

"...the pride of Rome for more than twenty centuries..." Wrong. Nero was in the first century, last of the Julian dynasty. It's not even nineteen centuries.

In Judea. It caused what is known today as the Jewish diaspora. It's why Jews ended up being scattered around the world.
