Nimes, France, we were real tourists and listened to the audio tour, which turned out to be excellent. Here you see the best preserved Roman amphitheatre around today. The structure went through a history of different uses from hosting gladiator fights, through serving as a fortress to present day bull fights. A typical day in ancient times would have seen animals fighting in the morning, followed by prisoners being fed to animals at lunch time, when most of the people would leave and only the most blood-thirsty would remain to watch. The day would finish in trained gladiator fights that would rarely end in deaths.
