Pula




The ancient town of Pula houses the best-preserved Roman coliseum. The one in Rome is bigger and more famous, but is in much worse shape. The Pula arena is almost intact, and one can also go underground to understand better the entry-and-egress system and a behind-the-scenes look at the world of the gladiator. Ken, as you might well imagine, was in hog heaven, since this is the kind of thing about which he teaches daily!
