I understand how a total idiot could not realize what they were doing. I also understand having him be forced into house arrest till he pays it back.

Some dude was saying it isn't the original wall and was rebuilt in like the mid 1900s or something. Which probably explains

The videographer responded by saying that he showed Colosseum staffers the video, but they “didn’t seem too bothered.”

Also I can't help feeling the original Romans (who also did this type of shit) would be proud.

But I'm not Roman, can't blame Romans for being mad.
