About this activity
On this tour you will explore the Hypogeum (Underground) of the Colosseum, where Gladiators once prepared for their games and wild animals were kept before being hoisted to the arena. You will be able to see a newly constructed elevator, recreated by experts, which demonstrates how the Romans hoisted animals up to the arena level. There were twenty-eight of these elevators in the Colosseum, each powered by eight slaves.After exploring the dark tunnels of the Colosseum Underground, we will raise again to the street level to enter the actual arena, the stage where the show took place and the blood shed. We will then climb up to the Third Tier, the highest level of the amphitheater, where you can admire the the building from top, as shown in the pictures, as well as the commanding views of Ancient Rome. This highest level (like the tunnels and the arena before) is closed to the regular visitors of the Colosseum and the only group allowed to enter these parts will be ours: a truly unforgettable experience! After visiting the Colosseum, well proceed on our tour to explore the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. The Roman Forum was the city center of ancient Rome and this was the place where, like in any major city today, you could find the most important public areas and buildings: the marketplace, the senate, the different temples, the House of the Vestalsvirgins who had the honor and the responsibility to keep the eternal flame of Rome alive, insuring its fortune and glory. Off the Via Sacra, well visit the altar where Caesar was cremated. Well also visit two magnificent arches: the white marble Arch of Septimius Severus and the Arch of Constantine. Finally we will visit the the Palatine Hill where the She-Wolf, La Lupa, nursed the twin founders of Rome: Romulus and Remus. It is the oldest part of Rome and the one favored by Romes richest and most powerful families, including the imperial ones. It is here where they built their vast and luxurious palacesand the English words palace harks back to the Palatine.
