A few lucky individuals will soon get the chance to have a once-in-a-lifetime Gladiator experience at the legendary Colosseum in Rome. For centuries, the Roman Colosseum has been the stage for epic battles and legendary gladiators. The latest offering from Airbnb Icons is the chance to discover if you have what it takes to conquer the arena inside the famed Colosseum and emerge victorious.
For the first time in nearly 2,000 years, and in celebration of Paramount Pictures’ Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II epic, the Colosseum returns to its original purpose as a venue for performances, inviting warrior recruits to step foot inside the arena to forge their own paths and shape their destinies. According to Airbnb, “Guests will follow in the footsteps once traversed by victorious fighters, suit up in historically accurate armor, and test their skills to determine their battle fate. This is the dream of a lifetime to emerge triumphant and establish yourself as the ultimate gladiator, earning your place in history.
” Guests will also get to get an up-close view of the newly remodeled floor of the Colosseum which was removed by archaeologists in the 19th Century, revealing the huge maze of tunnels where gladiators and animals were held before the infamous blood battles began. Airbnb recently introduced Icons, a new category of outrageous custom experiences hosted by big names in music, film, television, art, sports, and more. From an overnight stay at the Ferrari Museum to sleeping.
