Afterward, continue on with a stroll through Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. As you stand on the arena floor, walk in the footsteps of gladiators and imagine the roaring crowd. Then, descend beneath the Colosseum and see the tunnels that connected the Colosseum with the Ludus Magnus, where the gladiators would train.
