We went to another Roman arena, which is in the shape of a round football field with sand in the middle. The part that is not sand is the amphitheatre, which is the seats. In the arena, they had gladiator fights, where gladiators fought other gladiators. Otherwise they fought lions and tigers. Sometimes they threw criminals and traitors in with the lions. They also did chariot racing in there. The Romans built the arena about 2,000 years ago. About 300 years ago, they put houses in the arena, so people could be safe from the sieges. The houses aren’t there now, and these days they use the arena for matador fights.
When we’d finished looking at the arena, we saw a 3D movie, which showed what happened years ago in Nimes. The 3D movie was a movie where lots of things look like they’re actually coming towards you when you where these special glasses. I felt like the spears were going right towards me.
We also went to this place where people did wedding marches. There was music around them. At that place we went up a tower, where Celine counted 139 steps. The Magne tower was in a park.
On the way home, we saw an aquaduct, that carried water over a river or a gorge. It was built by the Romans 2,000 years ago. It was called Le Pont du Gard.

I think the rugby stadium in
Wellington looks and is shaped like a Roman arena. Who decides who is going to fight or be eaten? If you win the fight do they let you free or do you have to fight again? Did women have to fight?
No women could fight. They sometimes let you free. They sent Christians and traitors in with the lions and they might get eaten. The Romans voted on who died.
Actually women could fight.
