Ten years as a substitute!Now that she leaves, she regrets it too much

It was actually not difficult to convince Zhang Zhejie and the others. Jiang An only said one thing - next time when you get married and go on your honeymoon, the two of us will accompany you honestly.

With this sentence, all the problems at that time were easily solved.

So, the group changed their original plan and headed to Rome.

After arriving in Rome, they were deeply attracted by this ancient and vibrant city.

After Jiang An and his party arrived in Rome, they headed to the hotel they had booked with anticipation.

The hotel is located in the city center, with convenient transportation and complete surrounding facilities, which will facilitate their subsequent exploration.

After checking into the hotel, everyone sat around in the spacious and bright room and began to plan the next trip.

Jiang An spread out a map of Rome, and everyone focused on it. He pointed to a prominent circular building on the map and said: "Our first stop is here - the ancient Roman Arena, also called the Colosseum. This It is one of the most famous landmarks in Rome and a symbol of ancient Roman civilization.”

Zhang Zhejie added excitedly: "Yes, I heard that this arena has witnessed countless thrilling gladiator battles and beast performances. It is simply a living fossil of history!"

Lin Xixi also showed a strong interest: "I have always wanted to see this legendary arena with my own eyes and feel the ancient and passionate atmosphere."

"Then we've decided, we'll set off to the Roman Colosseum early tomorrow morning."

Jiang An made the final decision, and everyone nodded in agreement.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Jiang An and his party set out early to walk to the ancient Roman arena.

When they stood in front of this huge stone building, they were all shocked by its majesty.

The arena is oval in shape and its outer walls are made of boulders, making it appear solid and solemn.

"This ancient Roman arena was built between 72 and 79 AD," Jiang An began to introduce in detail. "It was built by Vespasian, the then Roman emperor, to please the Roman citizens."

"You can see that the seats in the arena are divided into different areas according to rank and status. This is a reflection of the social hierarchy at that time."

Lin Qingyou carefully observed the structure of the arena and sighed: "It's hard to imagine that the Romans in ancient times could build such a magnificent building. Their wisdom and talent are really admirable."

"Of course, you can also see how uncomfortable those slaves were at that time." To build such a huge building, the Romans invested a lot of slaves, and even countless people sacrificed their lives for it.

"Yes," Zhang Zhejie said, "It is said that this arena can accommodate up to 50,000 spectators, and its design is very clever, allowing every spectator to have good sight and hearing effects."

Jiang An continued to add: "In addition to battles between gladiators and beast performances, various religious ceremonies and public trials were also held here."

"It can be said that the ancient Roman Arena was an important place for political, cultural and religious activities in Roman society at that time."

They walked around the arena, stopping from time to time to admire the stone pillars and arches that had gone through so many years but were still standing.

Everyone is immersed in this strong sense of history, as if they can hear the cheers of the audience and the shouts of the gladiators in ancient times.

Of course, we can’t forget the photo of Hepburn with the arena in “Roman Holiday”.

But everything is in the past and has become an eternal classic.

After visiting the ancient Roman Coliseum, the group left this historic witnessing place with unfinished content.

They knew that their next trip to Rome would continue to reveal more mysteries of ancient civilizations.

The experience in the Colosseum will become an unforgettable page in their journey. After visiting the ancient Roman Colosseum, Jiang An and his party returned to the hotel with full of historical marks and spiritual shock.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest, while Jiang An and Lin Xixi were enjoying the sumptuous Roman afternoon tea carefully prepared by the hotel on the balcony of the suite.

The view from the balcony is excellent, overlooking the cityscape of Rome.

The two of them were sitting on comfortable wicker chairs, sipping fragrant black tea and tasting exquisite snacks. Jiang An suddenly mentioned a movie - "Gladiator".

"Xixi, have you seen the movie "Gladiator"?" Jiang An took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

Lin Xixi nodded: "Well, I have seen it. It is a very shocking movie. It tells the story of the ancient Roman general Maximus who fell from the top of power to becoming a slave, and then rose up for revenge and became a gladiator. Bar?"

"That's right," Jiang An said with a smile, "That movie actually has a deep connection with the ancient Roman Arena. Many scenes in the movie took place in the arena, especially the thrilling gladiatorial scenes."

Lin Xixi recalled the plot in the movie and said: "I remember that in the movie, Maximus, as a gladiator, performed very bravely in the arena and won applause from the audience every time."

"Yes," Jiang An said, "those gladiatorial scenes not only displayed the courage and wisdom of the gladiators, but also reflected the style of ancient Roman society and the prevalence of arena culture at that time."

During the ancient Roman period, the arena was an important place for public entertainment. Fights between gladiators often attracted thousands of spectators.

Lin Xixi sighed: "It's hard to imagine that people in that era were so enthusiastic about gladiator battles."

Jiang An continued to explain: "Actually, the movie "Gladiator" is not just an action movie, it also profoundly reveals the themes of power, revenge and human nature."

"Maximus's journey from general to slave to gladiator demonstrates his indomitable fighting spirit and desire for freedom."

"That's true," Lin Xixi agreed. "That movie gave me a deeper understanding of gladiators and the ancient Roman arena. Looking back now, those scenes are still vivid in my mind and make people excited."

This afternoon tea is not only a treat for the taste buds, but also a communication of the soul.

In the conversation between Jiang An and Lin Xixi, the history and culture of ancient Rome were vividly displayed, and the movie "Gladiator" became an introduction, leading them to explore more deeply the charm of this ancient civilization.

Perhaps because of the story of "Gladiator", Lin Xixi had a deeper understanding of the past of the ancient Roman arena. Her brows wrinkled slightly, and there was a hint of heaviness in her eyes.

"Jiang An, you know, I suddenly feel that the arena is so heavy now." Lin Xixi said softly, "I feel an indescribable depression when I think of so many people fighting desperately for survival and entertainment there. ”

Jiang An put down the teacup in his hand and looked at her tenderly: "Xixi, I can understand how you feel. The past of the arena is indeed full of blood and cruelty, but that is also part of history. We cannot change the past, but we can Learn from it and cherish the present.”

Lin Xixi sighed: "I know, but I just think that people in that era were too crazy. For entertainment, they could make so many people fight in the arena and even lose their lives."

"Yes, that era was indeed full of blood and madness."

Jiang An nodded in agreement, "But that is also a stage in the development of human civilization. Our current civilization is also based on the sacrifices and explorations of countless predecessors."

He paused and continued: "In fact, the arena not only witnessed blood and cruelty, it also witnessed human courage and wisdom."

Those gladiators were able to maintain their calm and brave spirit even when life and death were at stake.

Lin Xixi thought thoughtfully after hearing this: "You are right, we can't just see the dark side of the arena, it also has a positive side. The courage and wisdom of those gladiators are indeed worthy of our admiration."

"yes,"

Jiang An smiled and said, "Besides, you should also know that that era has passed. We now live in a more civilized and progressive society. We can learn lessons from history and avoid repeating the same mistakes." (End of this chapter)
