Question

If you could travel back in time would you go to see gladiators fighting in the colosseum for entertainment?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

No fear, I'd be going to see the vestal virgins getting cured.

Answer 3

yes i think i would, back then it was entertainment and part of their history, i would like to experience that, obviously now a days i wouldnt go near it at all. x

Answer 4

i would go.  partly because i've always wondered if the colosseum entertainment was really as gruesome and violent as we say it is now.  probably it was; i'd like to see for myself.

Answer 5

Definately, especially if we had to dress like they did in those days for the show!

Answer 6

how do people say it wasn't so violent? they threw (mostly) innocent people in with starved wild animals who tore them apart. many where Jews and Christians because they didn't believe in paganism. it was brutal and gory and if nobody had been entertained by it, maybe they would have stopped. it's people like you who are okay with it that are responsible

Answer 7

No thanks. Bit gory fo me.

Answer 8

only if i could go naked

Answer 9

Yes, I think I would be very tempted to go and see what it was like.  However, I would probably have to leave if it got too bloody.  And I would definitely like to see a Roman chariot race.

Answer 10

No. I would rather visit Egypt when the great Pyramids were built.

Answer 11

You'd have to have a look wouldn't you.

Answer 12

ofcourse, it would be like the UFC but with less rules and more blood.

Answer 13

Maybe.

Answer 14

Why not? beats saturday night telly

Answer 15

If I could only choose one event, no.

If I could travel freely in time, yes, why not?  It wasn't usually as violent as people tend to think.
