Stuart-Thanks for all your comments. They are appreciated. My daughter worked in Sisak, Croatia for two years helping run the country's only steel mill which was purchased by the company she worked for; CMC Steel. Sisak had a Roman mint back in the day. The city museum is loaded with Roman artifacts. Coins are still being found in the area and its rivers. This coliseum in Pula was really interesting. Pula is on the Adriatic. The coliseum had underground stores. We were able to go under and see an olive oil press and many containers which held their olive oil. It truly was a history lesson in itself.
