... I heard a big BOOM. The next 

thing I knew I was walking in Ancient 

Rome. I walked past a baker, a 

theater, a pallaestra, a barber, and

some children playing with marbles.

When I came

across a 

gladiator,

I asked him:

I couldn't believe that this was

Ancient Rome. I thought only ruins of Ancient 

Rome were left. "How could I travel in time? 

What year is this? Who does this villa belong 

to? Where is everybody?", I asked the 

gladiator. He didn't answer, he wasn't there. I 

was alone in Ancient Rome. I was scared and 

excited at the same time. I went to the 

Colosseum as quickly as I could.

Gladiators would

fight with each other

or wild animals. I 

thought that maybe

there would be 

people at the Circus 

Maximus.

When I got there I set up my camera and took 

a few still shots. I was disappointed that 

nobody was at the Colosseum. I was hoping 

there would be people there to watch 

gladiatorial fights.

I couldn't believe there was nobody there 

either! I needed to find some people! I 

thought it would be fun to see a chariot 

race. Chariot races took place on race 

tracks called "circuses". The most 

famous circus was called Circus 

Maximus. It was the first circus built of 

stone. It was getting dark so I laid down 

in a chariot and fell asleep.
