Itinerary

1. 1

   Circo Massimo

   1h

   Begin at the mighty Circus Maximus, where Caesar will have come to watch the races, famous for being the largest stadium for chariot racing in the world, with marble seating for over 250,000 spectators. Admire the stunning views of the ancient palaces of the Palatine cascading down the hill, and wander down the hill towards the River Tiber and look over the bridge to Trastevere where Julius Caesar had a villa and where he housed Cleopatra.

2. 2

   Rome

   1h

   Head towards the centre of governance in Ancient Rome, the Capitoline Hill, and be wowed by the spectacular view overlooking the ruins of the Roman Forum, the cradle of the gods and of ancient civilization, and at the far end, the Colosseum. See the buildings that were begun by Caesar including the temple to Venus, and the Curia, and his spy's humble resting place in the centre of the Forum.

3. 3

   Piazza Venezia / Ancient City

   1h

   Walk back through Piazza Venezia, through the picturesque Jewish Ghetto toward the spectacular ruins at Largo Argentina. End your tour here with the dramatic story of Caesar’s assassination, on those very steps! Stabbed 23 times by his enemies, so the blame was shared; including his trusted friend, Brutus, is where the mighty Julius Caesar was finally toppled.
