To enjoy a complete Roman experience, choose the "walking tour and Colosseum" option: you'll discover the legends of the Gladiators as you visit the tribunes and imagine being an excited spectator or an Emperor while watching wild beasts or slave-turned heroes fighting, deciding whether or not your winning bet had to “finalize” the defeat rival or let him die, just upon your thumb command… up or down for life or death. Then enjoy a beautiful walk into the Roman Forum, the arch of Titus, the temple of Saturn, Vespasian and Antoninus Pius are just some of the highlights… an immense display of evocative ruins which used to be the social, political and commercial hub of the Roman Empire and as you wander through this impressive district of temples, basilicas and vibrant public spaces, immerse yourselves in the 2000 years ago daily life and customs life of the biggest, powerful emperor of all times, learning the history of its fast rise and faster fall.
