The Colosseum’s history is as dramatic as the battles once fought within it. Built by the Flavian emperors—Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian—it stood as a symbol of Roman power, engineering brilliance, and social control.
On this immersive tour, you’ll uncover the world of gladiators: their intense training, specialized weapons, and the deadly combats that thrilled ancient crowds. Hear about wild animal hunts, mock naval battles, and the extravagant shows that turned the arena into the heart of Roman public life.
Option 2: Walking Tour (Exterior Only)
Prefer a lighter experience? Take an evening or daytime stroll through Ancient Rome with exterior views of the Colosseum and nearby monuments. Your guide will share captivating stories and historical context as you admire the Eternal City from the outside.
