How well do you know the Colosseum?
 
Probably not as well as Francesco, a Roman guide for Liv Tours, who says the Colosseum is his office. He took me inside the Colosseum... sorry, I mean the Flavian Amphitheatre... and tested me on some basic knowledge. 
 
Did emperors really do the thumbs up/thumbs down? Did they fill it with water? Were there ever female gladiators?
 
In this on-the-go episode, Francesco takes my family around the Palatine Hill and the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Cryptoporticus of Nero while we answer his trivia questions.
