2. Yes, it’s huge! Here you are, facing the man known as the Colossus of Rome! The Flavian amphitheatre, which stands before you, is the largest ever built by the Romans! That said, its name Colossus comes not from its size, but from the colossal statue that adorned its entrance.

   Vorbeifahrt

3. Right next to the Coliseum, we are now in front of the Arch of Constantine. It was commissioned by the Senate to celebrate 10 years of Emperor Constantine’s reign, recalling his great victory over Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvius Bridge.

4. We are now bypassing Mount Palatine. You can, of course, take an entrance and visit the legendary hill from the foundation of Rome.

5. You now pass under an arch of the old Aqua Claudia aqueduct, which supplied Rome with drinking water. The Aqueduct was built during the reign of Claudius, you would have guessed, who is the 4th Roman Emperor, and was inaugurated in 55.

About Rom

Rom schichtet fast dreitausend Jahre Geschichte in einer Stadt der kurzen Wege, vom Kolosseum und Forum bis zu Barockplätzen und Vatikankunst.

Das antike Rom liegt noch immer offen vor einem. Kolosseum, Forum Romanum und Palatin liegen gemeinsam im Herzen der Stadt, das Pantheon steht mit seinem offenen Opaion noch heute, und Reste von Tempeln und Aquädukten tauchen zwischen Wohnhäusern auf. Jenseits des Tibers birgt die Vatikanstadt den Petersdom, die Vatikanischen Museen und Michelangelos Deckenfresko in der Sixtinischen Kapelle.

Top-ranked sights in Rom: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
