Itinerary

• 1
  Colosseum

  Go inside the Colosseum with pre-reserved tickets and understand the context of its construction, what it came to symbolize throughout the centuries, from a privileged viewpoint. As in the movie “Gladiator”, it has hosted violent and brutal displays of gladiatorial combats and wild animal fights, all just for the delight of crowds. Inauguration lasted one hundred days, and approximately 9,000 animals and 2,000 gladiators were killed during the event. Today, the Colosseum is Rome’s most visited sight, which never fails to leave visitors awe-struck.

  Continue to Palatine hill, where ancient Rome started out as a small Iron Age village of huts and where the myth of the twins suckled by the she-wolf is set.

With the help of our expert we will reconstruct the architecture of the past and learn about power and propaganda during the Roman Empire.
