A journey to the places of power of Ancient Rome! We will start from the Imperial Forums and the imposing Trajan's Column, the Roman masterpiece entirely sculpted with depictions of the conquest of Dacia by the Emperor Trajan! We will continue in the Forum of Trajan and in the Forum of Caesar, with the vestiges of the Temple of Venus Genetrix. Once in the Roman Forum, the hub of business and politics, we will be able to admire the ruins of majestic temples (such as the Temple of Saturn and the altar where Julius Caesar's body was cremated), seeing how they looked at the time of the emperors thanks to representations graphics and reconstructions, and discover the mysteries and daily life of Vestal priestesses, senators and ordinary citizens. We will also visit places usually not accessible, rediscovered only in recent years!

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.
