  • Dive into the breathtaking atmosphere of the ancient Colosseum, festively decorated for a spectacular event where gladiators once battled. These recordings offer a rare glimpse into the largest arena of the Roman Empire, as it appeared during the zenith of the Empire. Experience the majestic architecture and the electrifying atmosphere as we slowly explore the interior of the arena and reveal the view of the densely packed spectator stands. We discover a world where honor and the fighting spirit of gladiators were at the core of the Romans of that era. The Echoes of Elysium and the story of the true champions.
    Music: Nessun Dorma by Giacomo Puccini

    The music paints a picture of the "cultivated" killings in the Colosseum. Participation in the games at the Colosseum was considered a social event. We find the executions in the arena abhorrent, but how did the Romans see them? Fights and executions, aestheticized in reenactments of mythological scenes. Undoubtedly bizarre. This is exactly what the music aims to convey: Killing as a part of the Romans' event culture. An attempt to make the incomprehensible tangible for us today.

    Ok, hold on. That multicoloured marble floor shown in the beginning was the actual marble floor from the Curia Iulia, the third Senate House built in 44 BCE. They would never have spent that much money on paving the passageways of the Amphitheater. And what’s up with those”streamers” hanging down from the velarium blocking the view?

It usually wasn't fatal to the contestants - unless they failed to play their roles well. It was very far from the random mayhem depicted in the movies.

Nevertheless, as historian, I have found the soundtrack to be too much out of place, because it reminds of the Italian Ottocento and Novecento. But, Italianess has got nothing to do with Romanity.

      Thank you for your comment. The music was chosen deliberately. It illustrates the "cultivated" killing in the colosseum. Attending the games in the Colosseum as a social event. Perhaps comparable to going to the opera. We find the arena's executions abhorrent, but how did the Romans view the event? Fights and executions aestheticized in re-enactments of mythological scenes. It feels bizarre to us. This is exactly what the music is supposed to express. Killing as part of the event culture of the Romans.
      However, this is also just an attempt to make what is incomprehensible to us today tangible.

      Although that music makes immersion in the atmosphere of Antiquity more difficult, nevertheless, using modern opera music to evocate the "cultivated" killing in the "Colosseum" is certainly very original, and, now that I have been told the goal, I can appreciate it more. As regards what you said on gladiatoral games, I totally agree: they were abhorrent; something in wich any trace of healthy fun was absent in favor of a selfish and animalistic satisfaction of instincts and libido. About that, Seneca wrote:"There is nothing so ruinous to good character as to idle away one's time at some spectacle[...] Unhappy as I am, how have I deserved that I must look on such a scene as this? Do not my Lucilius, attend the games, I pray you. Either you will be corrupted by the multitude, or, if you show disgust, be hated by them. So stay away." We can say that we will have gotten along with Seneca.
      Anyway, good work men!

    It is impressive but I think we should be careful here. Those people were going to have a horrible death for the enjoyment of the crowd and the emperor's prestige. Maybe we should dramatise the images using one of those other games when the Colosseum was filled with water. As a western myself I very much know and appreciate that most of our values and orientation were built during that time, like Republic and all that, but ancient Rome weren't nice times.

      Many fights between gladiators did not end in death, but victory for one and defeat for another. They were highly trained athletes, expensive to train and maintain. Their owners weren’t so eager to see them knocked off. Also, many of them had a lot of fans, even enthusiastic groupies.

I have strong interest in history and is the first time I have this info even though I already knew that some of the gladiators had fans, but I didn't know it was practise to have just a "winner" AND a "looser". We are influenced to think that the looser would die. Same to that old idea that Christians were put in the Colosseum to be eaten by lions when in truth it never happened, even though Christians were persecuted. Still, as far as I'm aware Roman society was usualy very challenging. I think the midia should be more truthful but then again I'm wishing for too much.

      This comment is extremely misleading. It was a city of 1 million inhabitants, which was unprecedented and made it the largest city in the world. This feat wasn’t managed again until Victorian London almost two millennia later. Even today, a city of one million inhabitants is hardly ‘mid-sized,’ there are only 10 of these in the US. If you’re referring to the city’s physical sprawl seeming ‘mid-sized,’ while obviously it was no Los Angeles, I think any casual glance at the plastico di roma imperiale model demonstrates that it would’ve still looked impressively large-much like a dense New York borough looks today.
      Regarding the video though, absolute hats off to the creators. I’ve never seen anything as immersive as your videos which capture the color and vibrancy of the city and its buildings. Can’t wait for more!
