Full description

A huge and amazing feat of engineering, the Colosseum built by Emperor Vespasian to entertain all Roman people — rich and poor — with many different shows like cruel fights between gladiators and between gladiatrix (female gladiators). Terrible hunts took place here, the “inventories” (fights with wild beasts). 1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included Roman Forum represented the commercial, legal and administrative centre of Ancient Rome. You will literally feel as if you were brought back in time during the Imperial age of Rome. A journey along the “Sacred Way” within the Roman Forum will lead your guide to unveil the spot where Julius Caesar set up the first Imperial Forums back in 46 B.C., at that time the center of Ancient Rome which, until A.D. 608, saw all Emperors adding their Temples and Houses to enrich it. On reaching Palatine Hill you shall be welcomed by The Basilica of Maxentius standing majestically alongside The Arch of Titus offering a panoramic view from the hilltop, this area is where Emperors once resided. It is indeed most ancient part of Rome for here stood “Square Rome”, founded by Romulus — destined to become world’s greatest Empire. Amongst ruins consisting walls built by Augustus, Tiberius or Maxentius there are also remains such as huts dating back more than 4.000 years! (one more fact: Palatine comes from Palatium, meaning palace). Still perched high above the city, his panoramic position provides stunning glimpses of Rome. Just the view of the Circus Maximum from the Palatine Hill alone makes it an impressive sight to behold.
