The ancient Roman Colosseum will be the venue of gladiator fights for the first time in two millennia under a $1.5-million sponsorship deal with Airbnb.

Airbnb is opening the doors to Rome's historic Colosseum for up to 16 guests for an unforgettable experience as part of their new Icons category.

Airbnbs are typically synonymous with cozy getaways, but a new Icons experience from the homeshare company is putting guests right in the action with a new Roman gladiator experience in the Colosseum.
