"Our fist stop is the Flavian Amphitheater, more commonly known as the Roman Colosseum. Today, the Colosseum is one of the most visited sites in Rome. The Coloseum is in ruins now, mosly becausee of earthquakes and stone robbers. Most people believe the Colosseum is one of the best buildings ever built by the Romans. The building is about 2,000 years old. It's an 'amphitheater', which means the building is usually oval or round, and there is no roof covering the center area of the theater."
"Harry, Circus Maximus is not a circus with animals or games. Circus Maximus was a place for chaiot races long ago. It was the first and largest stadium in Rome. It measures about 2,050 feet long ... or about 342 average lions ... standing tail to tail."
"We are going to have lunch at Piazza Navona today. The piazza, or open square, has a big fountain, whcih has one obelisk (a four sided, tall stone) in the middle of the fountain."
