<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 5041246, member: 72790&quot;]I, too, had the opportunity decades ago to visit Rome when the sites were not nearly as secured as they are today. I found out that nobody was on the site of the Coliseum until maybe a half hour after sunrise. I made sure to get there the next day before sunrise. No gates, no locked ones, anyway, just me some bored pigeons and a lot of cats. I walked all over the place and got to do something I had always wanted to do, yell some of the cheers of the fans at the &quot;games&quot;. Of course i started off with the &quot;moritori te salutamus&quot; (we who are about to die salute you). Then the cheer of &quot;occide, occide&quot; (roughly, kill the bum) and then &quot; hoc habet, hoc habet ) he&#039;s had it. The last time I yelled so loud pigeons took off like a flight of flushed quail. For just a minute it was not the 20th Century but the 2nd, and I was there. By&nbsp; the way, Jim, if you threw your &quot;three coins in a fountain&quot; while there, you will go back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
