    Foro Romano

    We start at the Colosseum - still standing after almost 2,000 years. As a symbol of power of the Roman Empire, the mighty amphitheater is a must visit when in Rome. The Colosseum's endurance pays testament to the genius of Roman engineering. Within its walls were some of the most barbaric spectacles of antiquity, sanctioned by the state to keep the masses happy. We then get into the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. The Roman Forum contains dozens of monuments, each with its own unique story. But only an expert guide can do the Roman Forum the justice it deserves. Among some of Rome's most ruined ruins lie some fascinating treasures. Treasures which offer up many clues into how Romans lived, loved, worshipped, and entertained. Also we'll pass by the Arch of Titus, Temple of Julius Caesar among Roman Forum and a lot more.
