Cobra\'s killing Cleopatra

[Iulia Cassia Vegetia]

Why would people want to watch criminals getting eaten by lions?

We would do well not to forget that people in our past sometimes liked really, to us, weird and nasty stuff.

But nowadays people watch this stuff on TV or at the cinema. So has the thirst for blood and gore really changed that much? :roll:

This is a most fascinating discussion. I never really bought the suicide story, :wink: I always figured that Cleopatra was assassinated.
