ANCIENT ROME TOUR
The keystone of our Rome tours is our walking tour of Ancient Rome. Enter the Colosseum (the Flavian Amphitheater) where animals and gladiators fought in epic battles and met their deaths for the entertainment of the mob. The Colosseum is the largest single ancient structure in Rome and remains the most recognized symbol of the Eternal City.
From the Colosseum, walk along the avenues that coursed through the beating heart of the empire that shaped western civilization for two thousand years. Hear how the ancient Romans lived and died, the brilliance of their administration, engineering, architecture, arts, and the human intrigues that echo to this day.
Our ancient Rome tours view the Roman Forum -- the administrative and religious center of ancient Rome where sacrifices to the gods were performed in Roman temples, commerce was conducted, courts of justice met and where the Roman senate convened in the Curia. Roman legions marched in processions through triumphal arches to celebrate their conquests. The Roman Forum is now famous for the ruins of the centuries of the kingdom, republic and Roman empire.
Our ancient Rome tours include a visit to the Palatine Hill. From earliest beginnings forward, the Palatine hill bears the archeological evidence of the wooden structures of early Romans and the later brick and marble palaces of the emperors. Ruins of the great palaces and their underlying rooms are still being excavated. Of all our Rome tours, this one gives you the best of Imperial Rome.
