As if the eternal city of Rome didn’t have enough attractions for tourists, authorities are now providing more access to the Colosseum. Beginning Aug. 21 and for seven straight Saturdays, visitors will be able to tour the ancient monument after dark with an archaeologist. Some nighttime tours last summer proved so popular that officials decided to do more this year. And this month, for the first time in decades, tourists will be able to explore the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the Colosseum. If you want to know what the gladiators and the wild beasts they fought experienced before going into the ring, this is your chance.
