 * Someone confidently added a zero to the estimated Roman population of 8000, apparently figuring that with an arena seating 45000, the figure must have been a typo. It wasn't.
 * There is a simple reason why, when the arena was flooded, gladiators didn't "fight alligators"&mdash; an improvisation inspired by a trip to pre-Disney Florida, one suspects. I added a reference to the naumachia. --Wetman 08:06, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
