The History
The Colosseum, Rome’s undisputed symbol, is far more than an architectural marvel. It’s a living testament to the might and splendor of the Roman Empire. Commissioned by Emperor Vespasian and inaugurated by his son Titus in 80 AD, this grand amphitheater hosted monumental and often brutal spectacles, captivating tens of thousands of spectators—from ordinary citizens to emperors themselves.
During our tour, you’ll relive the electrifying atmosphere of gladiatorial games, where strength and courage were celebrated, and the Empire’s unyielding thirst for power was on full display. You’ll almost hear the roar of the crowd, feel the grit of the arena, and imagine the exotic beasts —imported from the farthest reaches of the Empire—that awed and amazed Roman audiences.
Our guide will share fascinating stories about the celebrations, the engineering marvels of the Colosseum, and its advanced features, such as the immense velarium that shielded spectators from the sun. Walking through its ancient walls today, you’ll feel the echoes of a city that once stood at the pinnacle of civilization, with the Colosseum as its vibrant heart.
We aim to make you feel like true Roman citizens, masters of the ancient world, as we transform this journey into an unforgettable experience.
