The Roman Empire - A New Universe of Meaning

In these purpose built venues that blocked out the rest of the world, they literally become this new universe filled with meaning. These fragrant mists drift down on us. They refresh our senses. They cool us. Silken sheets manned by sailors shade us from the sun and transform our perceptions with colors. We're showered cakes and fruits and exotic nuts from distant gardens. And fighters in front of us demonstrate that even people from far away, who are unfamiliar with the city and its stories, have a capacity for bravery we can be inspired by. So it's not just entertainment at all.
