>have specially adapted ship just for the purpose of capturing and transporting live sharks>capture shark>transport it right next to Rome>place shark in a giant shark-size clay jug>transport it over land very carefully so the jug doesn't break to the Colosseum while keeping the shark alive>meanwhile a specially made aqueduct was created to bring salt water to the arena as well>it also requires pumps since the arena is higher than the sea level>failing that take regular drinking water and add the salt you extracted by evaporation from sea water to make sea water again>do this for a million cubic liters of water required to fill up the arena>or just have a line of slaves with buckets carry the sea water in a giant chain all the way to the arena>all this so the shark lives long enough to maybe bite a person instead of getting speared right away
>>220072866I bet they didn’t actually ever flood the coliseum. It was probably an urban legend like the pool under the floor of your high school gym
>>220072866For me, it's all that plus the cardboard cutout palm trees.
>>220072866oi m8, were you there?
>>220072913They probably did flood it sometimes but the "sharks" were just midgets in shark suits.
>>220072913Theres evidence that they did. Sharks are however made up.
>>220074114Any evidence to that effect im sure could be explained by some heavy rain and natural flooding. I bet the Romans saw it get flooded once and were like “wouldn’t that be sick if they did that for real and had naval battles” and it kept escalating to “yeah they totally used to do that back when Augustus n’ shiet things were so much better back in the day”
>>220072866"pumps"anon romans used gravity based system's it was actually insanely high mechanical engineering they converted potential into momentum in complex waysalso if they needed pumps it would be done with slave labour for a one of instance>aqueduct for the gamesit would have pre-existing waterbut they could also just fill it up with clay potshow they waterproofed it is the real question i dont think you understand the difference between a million and a billionthe average person makes 1.5-2 million in a lifetimea billionare could spend 1 million a day every and make money on the aquired capital at 1.5% thats less than most plebian available models they can infact spen 15million a day and be in proft roman emperors would be modern day trillionares something i cant even properly grasp imagine employing every person you know and every person they know and all of their friends at the median salary of a 2nd world economy and still makeing money....the question is if they had the will and the technology not the funds
>>220074279doyouknowthedifferencebetweensaltwaterandordinarywater?
>>220072866This movie is real kino if you can ignore Denzel and the fact every single action scene is completely retarded.
>>220074657Not the retarded anon you're responding to, but do you know what brackish water is? Are you aware of what estuaries are? Come to the south east.
How did they capture all these animals?
>>220074751pokeballs
>>220074751What do you mean "how?" Were you there?
>>220074723You think sharks can live in that kind of water? Are you retarded?
Anyway, Mescal FUCKED as the prince of Rome.
>>220072866they spared no expense
>>220072866Maybe they just showed a few freshwater dolphins in and told the spectators it was that fearsome shark thing they had heard so much about.Who is going to fucking know at that time? We know they shoved horns and metal armour on big dogs and said it was a rhino, because none of the fuckwits watching had ever seen a real rhino, so wants to stop.them doing it with any large fish or aquatic mammal?
>>220074862You think they cared if the shark lived that long? It only needed to be alive for the event.
It should've gone harder on the visuals, but there were good bits.
>>220074862bull sharks do fine in fresh water, retard
>>220074889Slander!
In reality the water was probably like knee deep and there were some little boats floating on it.
>>220074751alfred did it
I just learned that Roman’s had boilers. Like, actual functional boilers that fully resemble those we have today.Were these ancient mf’s basically just us, but without the internet?
>>220076068>Were these ancient mf’s basically just us, but without the internet?The more you read primary sources the more you understand that humans have acted the exact same way since civilization came around. Some monk in the 1100s may not understood what it meant when Juilus Caesar "made signs with his hands to his friends" but modern readers instantly understand that teenage Caesar was throwing fucking gang signs.
There's no way romans would be able to capture and transport a live shark.
>>220076205rome is 15 miles from the ocean. its not that fucking complicated
>>220076205they captured eggs and hatched them on site
>>220074233>Evidence that the Colosseum was flooded—specifically for naumachiae (naval battles)—includes contemporary accounts by poets Martial and Suetonius, and modern findings of hydraulic engineering, such as sealed water pipes, massive drains, and waterproofing, according to geological and engineering studies. These events occurred in the early years before the construction of the hypogeum (underground chambers), which later rendered deep flooding impossible.Explain the water pipes, bigot
>>220076333sharks are mammals dumbass
>>220074994kek that dude looks like meis my first thought when i eventually watch g2 ill start opinion posting like its a fucking profession
>>220072866It's pretty stupid they didn't just do a proper Naumachia. No one actually knows what that looked like, so you could have made it as grand as you wanted.
>>220076419it was actually a chemical production facility
>>220076205>sir how do you think we capture live sharks>you think we got an orca with lazors and a centrifuge.... we used ropes and a net i dont want to burst your bubble i want to make it dissolve
>>220076419They were cable organizers
