Itinerary	The Colosseum Get ready to be dazzled by the ultimate ancient super-arena! Back in the first century A.D., the Romans were all about the grand spectacles. Emperor Vespasian, tapping into this craze, decided to build the biggest amphitheater ever—the Flavian Amphitheater, better known today as the mighty Colosseum. Imagine being in the heart of Rome where the best games and shows in the world wowed the crowds! The Ludus Magnus Step into the training ground of the ancient superstars! The Ludus Magnus wasn’t just any gym—it was the prime spot where gladiators beefed up their skills and tactics. This mega-gym featured a large arena, seating for 3,000 fans, and even a direct tunnel to the Colosseum. These athletes were the real deal, training hard to entertain and awe. The Augustus Forum When Augustus became emperor in 27 B.C., he transformed Rome into a cultural powerhouse! His forum was a bustling square surrounded by fancy colonnades and security walls towering over 30 meters. Here, art and society flourished, with triumphal arches, aqueducts, and temples popping up all over. The Forum of Trajan Prepare to be impressed by the last and most magnificent of the Imperial Forums, designed by the star architect Apollodorus of Damascus. Between 107 and 112 A.D., Trajan’s Forum was carved out, creating not just a stunning plaza but also what we’d call today a shopping mall. Talk about ancient style meeting modern needs! Insulae Think of the insulae as the bustling neighborhoods of ancient Rome, complete with multi-story buildings, cozy courtyards, and shops lining the streets. From artisans to laundries, these were the lively hubs where everyday Romans lived, worked, and played. The Theatre of Marcellus Last but not least, marvel at one of the oldest surviving theaters of Rome—the Theatre of Marcellus. Dreamed up by Julius Caesar and completed by Augustus in honor of his nephew, this theater has seen over two thousand years of drama and history. Imagine catching a show here back in the day, surrounded by the splendor of ancient Rome! Join us on this time-traveling tour and experience the grandeur, the hustle and bustle, and the sheer awe of ancient Rome—where every stone tells a story of glory and spectacle!
