Rebuilt an ancient lift inside the Colosseum - emilio - 05-16-2015
Rebuilt, in Rome, an ancient lift inside the Colosseum.
The vertical shafts ( hypogeum ) contained lifts operated by ropes and pulleys which led directly to the arena providing instant access for fast changes to scenery, animals and occasionally convicts and gladiators.
