An interesting tour to visit some of the most famous sights of the Roman Empire: will reach Rome crossing
the E.U.R. district, the modern business and finance district in town, pass by the Pyramid of Caius Cestius,
the grandiose structure housing the tomb of Caius Cestius, praetor and tribune of the people; the Circus
Maximus, the grandest stadium used by Romans for horse-racing contests, the “ Palatine Hill”, where according
to the legend Romolus and Remus were raised by a wolf; “Piazza Venezia” dominated by the large memorial to
King Victor Emanuel II and the Mussolini’s Balcony; will start our interesting walk from the Trajan’s Column,
the elegant marble column inaugurated by Trajan in AD 113 and the “Trajan’s Forum”, a sunken area strewn with
fractured marble architraves and columns giving an idea of its original appearance, then on though the majestic
Imperial Forums Avenue to reach the “Roman Forum”, center of ancient Rome’s political and religious life;
this incredible and interesting ensemble of ancient ruins is reflecting the 12 centuries of history which
created Roman civilization.
Will walk through the “Via Sacra” (Sacred Way), the route followed through the Forum by religious and triumphal
processions towards the Capitol, to reach then the Arch of Titus, the imposing triumphal arch erected in AD 81
by Emperor Domitian in honor of the victories of his brother Titus and his father, Vespasian in Judea. Will
finally reach one of the most important monuments of ancient Rome, the Colosseum, symbol of the Eternal City:
built between 75-80 A.D. and representing the eternity of Roman civilization, this monument is no doubt a
masterpiece of classical architecture with its three superimposed classical orders, it; this enormous amphitheater
was large enough to seat 80.000 spectators at such Roman events as gladiatoral combats and the martyrdom of Christians.
After enjoying a delicious lunch at a local restaurant will enjoy some free time for shopping and browsing before
resuming our return ride to the Civitavecchia dock.
