  That story about a child-eating python lurking in the slums of Rome sounds exactly like something that would be a side quest you'd find in an RPG.

  I love that an engraver from about 1500 years later still had only the sketchiest idea of what elephants looked like. He must have been particularly sceptical when he was told about their height.

  20.000 people died in a wooden amfitheater collapse? That's a lot of people.

  Imagine being able to time travel and be able to witness something like this first hand.

  My family lore tells of how one of my Roman ancestors, though a man of meager means, was always able to get great seats at the Colosseum through Stubbus Hubbus.
