Rome. Rome travel guide Rome guide Rome apartments and villa rentals information. VIA DELLA CROCE - My Magic Rome. Tourist Info - Markets. Rome Archaeology Walking Tour: Colosseum and Impe. This three-hour in-depth walking tour focuses on the history and development of Rome during the Imperial period: roughly from the time of Julius Caesar to the fall of Rome.
Using key monuments from this period as our textbook, including the Colosseum and Imperial Fora (situated across the street from the Roman Forum and not to be confused with it), we'll discuss the rapid expansion of the city and the empire under the emperors and how Romans lived 2000 years ago. This walking seminar is normally led by a scholar of archaeology, classics, or architecture and discusses the important role commerce and entertainment played in shaping the urban design of ancient Rome.
It provides a shorter, less walking-intensive alternative to our Roma Antica tour. We will begin our exploration with the Colosseum, ancient Rome's most visual legacy and a structure emblematic of the ambitious building programs of various emperors. Walking tours for the intellectually curious.
