Tourist Trap: The gladiators at the Coliseum

At the Coliseum, you'll see some local men dressed up as gladiators. They'll tell you to take a picture, but often won't tell you to pay until after you've taken the picture. I don't know how much in Euros, but when I was there it was usually 1000 Lira per picture. Sometimes they'll just pose for you, other times they'll do silly things for the camera - make you wear their gladiator hat or pretend to chop your head off with their sword.

At Least Do This: If you see these gladiators and want to take a picture, be aware that you'll have to pay them.
Alternative: Just ignore them and don't take a picture!
