0:04
time imagine a roaring crowd gladiators

colossal fabric roof slowly gliding into

wasn't slaves or ordinary workers who

operated this marvel it was Roman

sailors dressed in simple tunics and
0:30
sandals their seaf fairing skills
0:32
repurposed for the arena they climbed
0:35
the coliseum's towering stone arches
0:37
wrangling thick ropes and heavy canvas
0:40
their hands hardened by years at sea as
0:43
the games commenced the sailors moved in
0:45
precise choreographed unison pulling and
0:48
releasing ropes unfurling the Valyriium
0:50
like a giant ship sail the crowd gasped
0:53

0:55
seats a welcome relief from the sun's

relentless glare the engineering behind
