Story · Pedestal of colossus of Nero

You're standing right next to the Colosseum, by a small patch of grass with some old foundations. It doesn't look like much, but this is where one of the largest statues of the ancient world once stood: the Colossus of Nero. Over thirty metres tall, made of gilded bronze. Picture that for a second, gleaming in the Roman sun.
