Colosseum, Triumphal Arch & Imperial Rome Tour

Rome developed over approximately 1200 years, starting with Romulus, the first founding king according to myth, a plot organized because of tyranny will lead to the death of the seventh and last king (Tarquino the Superb), thus opening the doors to the Roman Republic in which the absolute power seized from the kings would no longer be administered by a single individual, only after five centuries would absolute power return, Augustus the emperor is called.

In the imperial age, cruel persecutions of Christians began; a triumphal Arch in front of the Colosseum was dedicated to Constantine, who made Christianity official.

Rome discovered what we know today as the cement that allowed them to take an architectural leap, like building one of the 7 wonders of the world.

The Roman Colosseum in turn covered a dark memory left by the previous emperor (Nero) accused of the great fire of 64 AD. On his Domus Aurea (home) precisely on the lagoon stands the Colosseum thanks to the emperor Vespasian Flavio.
