Did Lara and Pierre travel through time?
I replayed the Rome section of TRC the other day and for some time now I wonder: When Lara walks through the portal beneath the three serpent heads, does she actually travel through time? I've a few pieces of evidence for this:
- The room behind the portal is far bigger from the inside than the small building she entered. - There is also this weird coloured glowy stuff when she enters the building. - There are living lions and gladiators. - The Colosseum appears to be intact. - Everything looks pretty new and not as withered as one would expect from such an ancient place. What do you guys think? |

That's a really good interpretation, I like it.

You have some very good points and I like that idea ! It could also explain why Pierre is still alive in TR1 ? He died in the past not in the present ?

I just assumed the Chamber of the Philosopher's Stone was some kind of ancient TARDIS, bigger on the inside with a transdimensional portal activated by the different elemental artifacts.
As for Larson and Pierre, I just assumed Lara lied to Winston about what happened in Rome, and neglected to tell him she met them again during the events of TR1. |

Well, we don't see Larson or Pierre die so they could've survived. Larson was just thrown away by the serpent heads and Pierre isn't seen when he falls into the abyss.

I thought it was bigger in the inside just because of the usual weird TR logic, though I find your interpretation quite amazing

Never considered this at the time but it's certainly a good theory.

I also love the theroy! I've always wondered why le Colosseum looked so "new" and why there are gladiators and lions as you said and I have to agree the time travel is a good answer

Okay, this is the new cannon xDDDDD
I've never been bothered about the living lions and gladiators when I played it back in my young ages xD but the last replay I've done, really buged me. Now this is a good theory. It could also be a paralel dimension... |

I wonder how Lara and Pierre returned to the present time, though. After she gets the Philosopher's Stone, it doesn't seem there's an exit at all
