And if memory serves, and even though it was at night, this looks line it was the location of a route marker clue box in season one after teams finally got into Rome in spite of an air traffic controllers strike.

No the season 1 route marker was on Via Del Colosseo about 100 meters north of here.

100 meters -- 300 feet is a football pass away; you'd be hard pressed to distinguish the distance on a satellite photo.

The company that "produces" Gladiator School and reenacts many epic battles is Gruppo Historico Romano. They have a "training facility" on the Appian Way, that is nowhere near a subway stop. They stage battles all over Rome and have been to other provinces as well.
We were fortunate to go to this Gladiator School last October -- it was a blast! They teach you all sorts of combat with sticks and knives and you get to wear some wicked heavy armor. We had a gladiatrix (who moonlighted / moonlit? as an opera singer) as our instructor. Hoping to see her on the show. The most interesting tidbit that we learned was that in the fights in the Colosseum, many of them were fixed -- apparently, gladiators were the professional wrestlers of their time. Once a slave won enough battles and bought their freedom - they were basically "unbeatable." (Unless some powerful person took a dislike to them). Very cool experience.

“The Gladiators Are Here!” – Teams race to Rome, Italy, where Racers and Roman gladiators square off in a medieval Detour. Plus, three teams strike a deal in order to try to avoid elimination, on the All-Star edition of THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, April 13 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)

I wonder which teams strike this deal, and if it has to do with a Double U-Turn! :D

Personally, I think this is where alliances come out, and the Brenchel/Country feud starts <3
