Let us take you through the dusty ancient streets and temples
that Caesar, Augustus, and Nero, once haunted. See where many of our modern-day
political practices were forged, and stand in the shadow of crumbled palaces
and temples, coveted by one of worlds greatest civilizations.
This site contains some of the world's most important ancient ruins, crowned
in the distance by the omni present Colosseum. To many visitors, the Roman
Forum is nothing more than a walk through weed infested ruins. But to those
who have studied Roman history, it is an exhilarating archeological site where
one of the most powerful empires in history started, and its impact on contemporary
culture is still present today.
During our visit inside the Colosseum, you will relive the glory of the gladiators,
and witness the early Romans' unquenchable thirst for blood sport through
lively stories, and a detailed exploration of this infamous arena.
If time allows at the end, you will have free entrance to explore the
Palatine Hill on your own– once considered the "Beverly Hills" of
ancient Rome – you'll discover the palaces of the emperor's, with
sweeping views of the Tiber River and Circo Massimo (the great chariot
race track.) This hill is a quiet and breathtaking retreat from
congestion of the city, and has been a popular respite for princes and
painters since the 17th century. The Palatine Hill is often overlooked
by the large tour groups, and offers a great vistas of the entire city
and Ancient Rome.
Our Ancient Roman history scholars will entertain and astonish you, replete
with stories of demented emperors, savage assassinations, Vestal Virgins,
and the intriguing events of everyday life through the Republic and Imperial
ages.
