Kosmo Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Italian police have arrested 20 gladiator impersonators, in an undercover operation outside the Colosseum in Rome. The suspects are accused of intimidating and attacking their competitors, to win a share in a lucrative business. The men, who dress up in ancient Roman costume, are a familiar feature of the Rome tourist scene. They can charge up to 10 euros ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Obviously they must have been impersonators!! If they'd have been real Gladiators they would have fought the undercover police to the death instead of giving in so easily!! The last time I was in Rome there were only 2 or 3 of the Gladiators around the Colliseum and they were all very courteous and entertaining. These new imposters must have just recently began to muscle in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
