British Museum

Usually I hate all kind of museums, but this time I did something surprising and visited British Museum. I don't really care about history very much, but as being a big fan of TV shows Spartacus, Rome and movies like Gladiator, 300, Troy etc, I'm interested in the time of Ancient Rome and gladiator culture. I read from Internet that there are also some weapons from that time and since it's free entrance I thought why not give it a shot and take a look at them.

Luckily there were quite much war equipments like swords, shields, helmets and armours, but unfortunately most of them were in very poor condition. It's not very surprising at all since most of those items are more than 2000 years old. Rest of the museum was very boring like museums usually are. You need to be really interested in history, if you want to find those ancient piece of rocks somehow interesting...

I guarantee that pictures below are also super boring for the people who haven't watched any of those TV shows or movies and are nohow interested in Ancient Rome at all! ;)
