Walk in the footsteps of Roman Gladiators on this express tour of the Colosseum’s Arena, with exclusive priority access to the restricted Arena Floor and Gladiator’s Gate.
Experience the advantage of personalized guidance from your private tour guide, along with priority access to the Arena Floor of the Colosseum. You will have the opportunity to appreciate this remarkable architectural achievement, once the stage for renowned gladiators. This exclusive access is not available to the general public, making it a truly unique and memorable experience.
The Colosseum has symbolized power, wealth, and culture of the Ancient Romans for centuries. Despite years of neglect, dismantling, and an earthquake – it is still standing. As you walk around the Arena floor your guide will bring the events of the past vividly back to life. Hear about famous gladiators, where they lived, trained, and what they ate. Hear about the trade of wild animals from Africa and the snacks and drinks you could buy in the stands. You’ll hear tales of different emperors and gladiators, moments of heroism and brutality, you’ll learn of the slaves, vestal virgins, and the 100 days of games that launched the Colosseum back in 80 AD.
As your tour concludes, you arrive at the impressive Arch of Constantine, a remarkable representation of the grandeur of ancient Rome. Constructed in 312 AD, this monumental edifice commemorates the victory of Emperor Constantine the Great over Maxentius in the historic Battle of Milvian Bridge. Its significance reflects the narratives of courage and aspiration that shaped an empire, serving as an essential element in understanding Roman imperial ideology. Take a moment to appreciate the historical importance of this extraordinary structure, which connects us to a period of remarkable power and vision.
