We also see views of the arrival of travelers and their departure from hotels; sidewalk throngs on the Via del Corso, discussing war; Italian Infantry drilling on that most ancient of military roads, Appian Way, while traffic proceeds on the famous thoroughfare, which was built 2,226 years ago; the Colosseum, dedicated A.D. 80, by Titus, in a festival of 100 days, during which 9,000 animals were killed and 3,000 gladiators battled to the death. In this arena thousands of martyrs knelt while the crowds shouted "The Christians to the lions.'' Again, we have scenes of the modern Roman stadium, with Italians celebrating the Roman birthday, while the school children entertain. In these we have 7,500 spectators applauding these newer gladiators. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
