Faked Gladiators in front of the Pantheon

by monica71

Faked gladiators are everywhere: by the Pantheon, by the Colosseum, you name it! They are inviting tourists to take pictures with them. Once you take the picture, they ask for money: anywhere between 20 Euros to 50 Euros. I am not sure what happens if you do not want to pay for the picture, though, but I noticed how tourists were ignoring and avoiding them :)

Unique Suggestions: agree on the price before taking the picture...

Fun Alternatives: take a picture of the faked gladiators from the distance and move on

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
