Under the Colosseum
The most impressive part of the Colosseum lay beneath the sandy arena, where a labyrinth of passages, cages, and lifts waited to release gladiators and exotic beasts into the sun. These subterranean levels, known as the Hypogeum, were recently opened to the public for the first time. Join me as I explore the world under the Colosseum.
