Story · Ludus Magnus
You're standing at the Ludus Magnus, the Great Gladiatorial School. Look down, over the railing. A few metres below today's street level you'll see a curved brick wall. That's part of a small arena. This is where gladiators trained before fighting in the Colosseum, which you can see right next door.
