Watch: Climber Infiltrates Roman Colosseum

  A climber from Germany added an epic achievement to his list of  accomplishments by breaking into the Roman Colosseum and exploring it in  the dead of night.   The appropriately named Flavius Vasily pulled off the daring caper  despite the presence of security guards and locked gates ostensibly  keeping trespassers out of the legendary site.   Upon entering the Colosseum, Vasily had free reign to both climb to the  top of the monument as well as simple meander about admiring the ancient  architecture.   While the stunt is admittedly admirable, it was not without its critics  as viewers online decried Vasily's disregard for the historic location.   In response, the German responded by noting the atrocities which once  took place at the sporting arena and saying that he does not care what  critics say.   He may have a different perspective if authorities in Rome decide to  pursue the brazen explorer as Egyptian officials did with a German  teenager who scaled the Great Pyramid earlier this year.
