Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant

I think that every little boy at least one time dreamt about being a gladiator, fighting in the arena just for the glory, and hear an entire city screaming your name. Every time I took a history book when  a was a little child, I went immediately on Rome and Greece pages, waiting for new information about gladiators, soldiers, sailors, or their mythology.

Those civilisations were two of the most powerful that had ever existed. Their culture went throughout other countries, and gave the bases for the occidental culture as we know it. They were soldiers, politicians, philosophers, mathematics, poets and conquerors. Someday, I would like to go there, visit all the ancients cities, take some photographs in the most famous spots (roman coliseum, or the city of Athens. Although I think they're awesome cities or countries, I wouldn't like to live there. Neither Rome nor Greece are countries where they speak Spanish or English as their native language, and also, it's pretty far away (my dog may miss me).
