Colosseum & Roman Forum Tour led by an archaeologist

What better way to visit the Colosseum, the symbol of Rome, with an archaeologist and professional qualified guide? You will discover many stories about gladiators, wild beasts, and games of Ancient Romans. Then you'll walk through Ancient Rome at the Roman Forum, the the center of public life in Rome, with its temples and public buildings. As an archaeologist I had in the past years the opportunity to work in archaeology diggings in all of Rome and also here. Walking on the Via Sacra with me you'll relive a day in the heart of the religious, political and social life in Ancient Rome. Discover how pagan temples and other sites were in the past and then how they were transformed, reused and converted into churches. Be amazed by the triumphal arches and the imposing basilicas.
