I agree. Regardless of whether Christians or Jews were killed in the Colisseum, quite a number of people were. It should be regarded with consummate respect, I think, in the same way that other memorial places are...battlefields, catastrophe sites, cemetaries, religious edifices, etc.

I have to agree, if only from the point of view tha tthe remains should be protected from further damage.

on another point from your blog, about amaturish re-enactors, there was a news article about one of the colosseum romans
attacking a tourist who refused to pay the demanded fee for a photo, hitting him over the head with a wooden sword.
I believe he was charged. Sorry to go off topic.
