Plans to offer Airbnb customers the chance to take part in gladiator-style battles in Rome’s Colosseum have been decried as an insult to the UNESCO-listed ancient arena.

Airbnb is giving people a chance to role-play as gladiators as part of a film promotion — to the dismay of some locals.

The travel experience will allow visitors to "suit up in historically accurate armor and put their skills to the test to determine their fate in battle"

Airbnb and the Colosseum Archaeological Park are giving 16 lucky visitors a chance to experience the underbelly of Rome’s Colosseum after dark in honor of the release of ‘Gladiator II.’

The ancient Roman Colosseum will be the venue of gladiator fights — albeit staged — for the first time in two millennia under a $1.5 million sponsorship deal with Airbnb that aims to promote “a more conscious tourism.

A new deal between Airbnb and the Roman Colosseum will let eight people and their plus-ones participate in faux gladiator fights at the ancient amphitheater.
