Explore the valley of the Roman Forum and the Via Sacra, let yourself be carried away by the narrations of our expert, in the days when the Senate, the temple of the Vestal Virgins, the shops, and the other buildings, now partly in ruins, were places of high-density life, so crowded that it was necessary to limit traffic in the streets with specific regulations.

Marvel at the architecture of the grand pre-Christian basilicas, where Romans once dispensed justice holding public trials. These served as a stage for the most brilliant lawyers of the time, such as Cicero, favoring their rise to power.

Join us in retracing the daily and public life of Ancient Rome, in the spaces where Romans gathered for business, politics, and sacred rites, to decree wars and victories, to listen to the speeches of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony.

Visit the archaeological ruins of the huts of Romulus of the VIII century B.C., understanding how Rome was born.

Understand the political strategy of Octavian Augustus, who built his residence nearby to present himself as the refounder of Rome and restorer of the ancient moral roman virtues, (thus contrasting the liberation of customs and women and sending his daughter Julia into exile for her love choices), effectively initiating the transfer of power from the Senate into his hands, becoming the first emperor of Rome without ever declaring it.
