  • Want to get your picture with a costumed Roman tough who carries a hidden knife in his belt (if the final negotiations are not agreeable). But from the 3rd level of the Colosseum you are safe! Give him a paper Euro bill and pray (you are prey). I have heard of people taken for 100 euro. I have not seen a picture yet of somebody with them and have no desire to do so. They certainly do not countenance your "shooting" them at ground level. Hence this sniper shot.
