Colosseum

The Colosseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheater (in Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium) or simply Amphitheatrum (in Italian: Anfiteatro) located in the center of the city of Rome, is the largest Roman amphitheater in the world (capable of containing a number of spectators estimated between 50,000 and 87,000). It is the most important Roman amphitheater, as well as the most impressive monument of ancient Rome that has come down to us. The amphitheater was built in the Flavian period on an area on the eastern edge of the Roman Forum. Its construction, begun by Vespasian in 70 AD, was completed by Titus, who inaugurated it on 21 April in 80 AD. Further changes were made during Domitian's empire, in 90. The name "Colosseum" spread only in the Middle Ages, and derives from the popular deformation of the Latin adjective "colosseum" (which can be translated into "colossal", as it appeared in the early Middle Ages among the one or two-storey houses)

Foro Romano

The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.You will pass several important ruins of government buildings of the past and stroll along the “Via Sacra” the main street of Ancient Rome where once emperors such as Augustus and Hadrian, and generals paraded in the full glory of their triumphs to the Roman Forum. The Roman Forum was the center of commercial and religious life in Rome. The tour also takes you to the interior of the old Senate, the dwellings of the Vestal Virgins, Temples of Vesta, Septimius Severus, and Triumphal Arches of Titus, your guide will tell you stories of the past which are bewildering and almost impossible to believe – all are true by the way.

Palatine Hill

The Palatine Hill may be overshadowed by the fame of its next-door neighbour, the Colosseum, and overlooked by many tour companies in Rome, but you wouldn’t want to miss it. No visit to Rome is complete without a thorough exploration of the ancient city. This majestic hill towers over the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus, the ruins of its ancient palaces still visible from a distance were once the home of emperors and the site of temples, and was at the center of Rome’s most important myth – the legend of Romulus and Remus. You can’t understand Ancient Rome without understanding something of the Palatine and its remarkable history.
