Today your guide will then introduce you to the Roman Empire, walking through what was the heart of ancient Rome, the Forum. Walk by the Senate House, where the destiny of the Western World was decided, and see the very spot from which Marc Anthony delivered his famous - "Friends, Romans, Countrymen” speech, on the assassination of Julius Cesar.

Then make your way to the legendary Colosseum, symbol of power and eternity of Ancient Rome, about which it is said that “if the Colosseum should fall, Rome and the world will follow”.
