Colosseum from a distance

From the corner of Fiori Impaeriale standing to the left of the capitol, you can get an incredible view of the Colosseum. As you walk down this street toward the ancient arena you can really sense what it was like for tens of thousands of people to walk the same path on their way to watch a bloodbath. This road reminds me of Curtin Road or Park Ave at school. During a football weekend these streets are completely filled with people wearing hats and t-shirts supporting their team. People would walk down the street and pass monuments like East halls on the left and the BJC on the right. This scene is a little different than walking with an ancient Roman market on the left and the Forum on your right. I'm not sure which I prefer.
