  • A man dressed as a Roman centurion and who earn his living by posing with tourists gestures in front of the Colosseum during a protest on April 12, 2012 in Rome. Rome Commissioner Francesco Paolo Tronca banned the costumed centurions from posing for photographs with tourists for a fee on November 26, 2015 ahead of the Pope's Jubilee. Rickshaws who offered tourists an alternative to horse-drawn buggies were seized in the interests of "urban security and decorum", city sources said. "The ban is imposed in the interests of security - in so far as the people performing such activities often behave in ways that are inappropriate, insistent and sometimes aggressive - and to protect the decency of the city's artistic, historic and monumental heritage," Tronca's ordinance read.
