It is. Assassin's Creed games are often set in places and time periods where they can have the assassin climb on famous landmarks and ancient architectures. Rome was a location you could visit in at least one of the games (I want to say both Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood), and you could even climb the Colosseum itself. So when I saw the video, it instantly made me think of the game. As for the haystack reference, a common trope in Assassin's Creed games is to reveal a region you have to find a tall structure and climb to the top. Usually they let you jump off from the very top and fall into something to break your fall, usually a haystack. It's super unrealistic but saves you the effort of climbing back down again. You can see the Colosseum climbing in action in this video, although the time period in the game it's a ruin already, including the fall into a haystack: https://youtu.be/gkHTYydSPks https://youtu.be/gkHTYydSPks
