An interior shot of the Roman Colosseum. The Senator's seats are shown at the end of the colosseum while the emperor's seat is just to the right of the photo. A large crucifix is directly across from the emperor's seat to remind him God is watching him. The line to get in was about 50 yards long but I had a ROMA Pass and walked right in. It pays for itself and saves time.　#Rome #Italy #RomanColosseum #colosseum #old #ancient #architecture
