M. that Built in the 3rd century, the Tunisian amphitheater is an exact copy of the Italian one, but better preserved. For thousands of years, as if in mockery, even traces of blood remained on the walls, it is difficult to say whether it was the blood of people or animals... You pass by the lairs of animals, gladiators, you see where emperors with a wave of their hands killed or gave life, and in the most literal sense words, you hear the sound of man and beast struggling for existence, you smell cruelty and think that morals have changed, but ruthlessness has not. ... And you admire the grandeur of the structure.
