Description

Enter through the Porta Libitinaria, the ancient gate once reserved for gladiators 2,000 years ago. Feel history surround you as you step directly onto the Arena Floor. Your private archaeologist guide brings the scene to life, weaving stories of roaring crowds, imperial ceremonies, and the hidden mechanisms of the hypogeum beneath your feet. With augmented-reality tablets, watch the Colosseum rise to its former glory, its marble seats filled with senators and emperors once more. Continue your journey through a VIP entrance into the Roman Forum, bypassing the crowds entirely. Stroll along the Via Sacra, through the Senate House, and beneath the Arch of Septimius Severus, as your guide reveals the intrigues, triumphs, and betrayals that shaped the Roman Empire. Pause by the Temple of Vesta and ascend to the Palatine Hill terraces, where the ruins of imperial palaces overlook the Eternal City — a panorama once reserved for Rome’s emperors.
