1. The Roman Amphitheatre near Palazzo Peruzzi (Florence), from the sensations of the architect Corinto Corinti.
2. Roman defensive walls in via del Proconsolo (Florence), from the sensations of the architect Corinto Corinti.
3. Historical football Roman legionaries: the Harpastum.
HARPASTUM: also known as Harpustum, was a form of ball game played in the Roman Empire. The Romans also referred to it as the small ball game. The ball used was small (not as large as a follis, paganica, or soccer-sized ball) and hard, probably about the size and solidity of a softball. It involved considerable speed, agility, and physical exertion. Little is known about the exact rules of the game, but sources indicate the game was a violent one with players often ending up on the ground.
