Once inside, your official guide will tell you all about the bloody history of this ancient amphitheatre with tales of gladiators, simulated battles and executions. After a brief stop at the Arch of Constantine we will move on to the Palatine Hill, the most famous of Rome’s Seven Hills. From there you will be able to enjoy splendid views over the Roman Forum and Nero’s Circus Maximus. It is told that it was at the Palatine Hill that the she- wolf first found Romulus and Remus. Then we will walk down the Via Sacra, or Sacred Way, the ceremonial way that crosses the Forum.
