For #FlashbackFriday take a step into the Colosseum and appreciate its full glory. Did you know the Colosseum was built in only 10 years and could hold more than 50,000 spectators? During the Medieval age it was rented out as housing.

Spartacus was a heavyweight #gladiator named "murmillo". This flavor of gladiator was originally named after the warriors of Gaul, "Gallus", but was renamed when more Gauls assimilated into the Empire.

Striking similarity with some American sports teams. 🤔 #SaturdayThoughts
