Highlights

Most days are ordinary. But some are so big that people are still talking about them 2,000 years later. The 15th of March 44 BC - the infamous Ides of March - Caesar’s last day, was one of those days. And you’re about to step right into it. Led by Roberta Jones, time traveller and licensed tour guide, you’ll walk the streets where Julius Caesar rose to power, commanded armies, and made powerful enemies. As you explore iconic sites like the Capitoline Hill, the Jewish quarter, and Largo Argentina, actors bring ancient Rome to life around you. Meet Caesar himself, his wife Calpurnia, his enemy Brutus, and other characters caught up in the events that would change Rome forever. You won’t just watch history. You’ll become part of it. Join Caesar’s army, become a Roman citizen, and find yourself drawn into one of the greatest conspiracies of the ancient world. Was Caesar a hero or a tyrant? You decide. Ancient Rome is waiting. Are you brave enough to step in?

    30 min

  3. Step back in time at this ancient theater commissioned by Julius Ceasar. Predating and influencing the Colosseum’s design, its ruins now blend seamlessly with modern apartments. Here we’ll meet Volumnia Chyteris, an ancient Roman Mime.

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.

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