Tourist Trap: Not-so-Roman soldiers!

Many folk would probably love seeing these Roman chaps all dressed up as Roman soldiers. They pose with people for photos for a donation. I watched a couple of them for a while and came to the conclusion that it is a rip-off. They do silly things (like pretending to kill someone with their sword!), make silly poses and generally act a bit roguishly. It just seems a bit farcical to me.

It is everywhere. Books, postcards, memorabelia. At first it's interesting and one browses through them to see if there's somehting interesting. But then the novelty wears off and one grows tired of seeing them everywhere. They are also quite expensive, and totally aimed toward the ignorant tourist. Ask for a discount. Ensure you get the right change back. We were duped with incorrect change at 2 different stalls, twice. Wasn't a large sum of money, but that's not the point. Just be careful.
