Explore the wonders of the Colosseum, the site that over the centuries has become the symbol of the city, built by the Emperors of the Flavian dynasty. The Colosseum, the mother of all stadia, and a spectacular exercise in the control of the people – part of the “bread and circuses” system. Gladiators, lions and tigers showed Romans the might of the state's power and reminded them of their fate were they to disobey.

Moving on, visit the area that witnessed the birth and development of the Roman civilization: the forum. The political, social, religious and economic heart of the Roman Republic, some of the most ancient places of worship, can be found in the forum. Visitors can still glimpse the remains of venerable temples.

Discover the highlights of the forum, including sights like Arch of Constantine, Arch of Titus, Temple of Julius Caesar, Temple of Saturn, House of the Vestal Virgins, Basilica of Maxentius, Temple of Romulus, Temple of Antonino and Faustina, Arch of Settimius Severus and the Roman Senate.

Move to the palatine hill, where all the kings and the emperors once lived.
