<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3202842, member: 72790&quot;]Yes, it can be crowded. I went there in the early 1980&#039;s by myself and no part of a tour. It was early July with a very early sunrise. I got to the place about 5:30 AM, sun peeking through arches. No guards, tourists, nobody but me and the entrance wide open. I went in, walked about and then did something I had always wanted to do, scream, in Latin, the imprecations and cheers of an Ancient Roman audience. MORITORI TE SALUTANT. OCCIDE, OCCIDE! HOC HABET, HOC HABET! I figure it had been a while since the stands had heard those cries. Perhaps I woke a few ghosts. I certainly startled a colony of feral cats and a few flocks of pigeons. Fortunately the local laws against making a spectacle of oneself or exhibiting delusional behavior do not apply until after 8:00 AM.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
