Ventationes - gladiator huntings, the colliseum is transformed into a hunting ground and gladiators kill wild animals for the fun of it--and thousands of animals, which made the colliseum reek with rotting corpses.
NOTE TO SELF: The Romans were extremely uncivilized people. They enjoyed viewing blood and gore, it was a part of life back then. Gladiators, plays and a vomitorium were usual everyday parts of life. And thank goodness I'm not living in that time... >_<

Notes for that are finished. Not too long, thankfully. Hope ya' learned something, even though some of that is not pleasant to learn. XD
