Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 13 - Airbnb says it will offer a free gladiator experience to anyone interested in following the footsteps of Russell Crowe and his ancient models from the bowels of the Colosseum up onto the killing floor of Rome's great arena.
    All the brave souls wishing to get an authentic taste of gladiatorial combat need apply on airbnb. com/gladiatormovie starting at 15:00 on November 27 and ending at 08:59 on December 10.
    The lucky ones who get into the scheme will be given the outfits of all the types of gladiators, from the Thracians to the mirmillions, provocators and net-and-trident-wielding retiari, and tog up in the hypogeum under the Colosseum before striding up through its maze of tunnels like Crowe's character in Gladiator, the 'Spaniard' Maximus Decimus Meridius.
    Airbnb says its booking platform is also going to be "involved in safeguarding historical monuments". (ANSA).
