• Foro di Traiano - This forum was created by cutting through the Quirinale and Campidoglio slopes, which were connected by a mountain saddle. Excavation likely began under Domitian, alongside the development of the Forum of Nerva. After Domitian’s assassination in 96 AD, Trajan continued the project, funding it with spoils from the conquest of Dacia (modern-day Romania) during two military campaigns (101-102 and 105-106 AD), which ended with the defeat of the Dacians and the death of their king, Decebalus. The architect was Apollodorus of Damascus, a military engineer who accompanied the emperor in the victorious war. Trajan’s Forum was more intricate and complex than its predecessors, featuring a vast square flanked by porticoes with exedras behind them, dominated by the impressive Basilica Ulpia, with Trajan’s Column standing behind it.
• Colonna Traiana - Trajan’s Column visually narrates the two military campaigns of 101-102 and 105-106 AD, through which Emperor Trajan (98-117 AD) conquered Dacia, largely corresponding to present-day Romania. The substantial war spoils allowed Trajan to construct the most magnificent of Rome’s forums, named after him and inaugurated in 112 AD. The Column stands at the center of a courtyard bordered by the monumental entrance to the Forum, the Basilica Ulpia, and two libraries to the east and west. It rests on a base adorned with bas-reliefs of weapon stacks. The shaft, 100 Roman feet high (30 meters), is made of 17 colossal blocks of white Carrara marble, with a diameter of nearly 4 meters. Inside, a spiral staircase of 185 steps leads to the top. The frieze spirals around the shaft like a scroll, approximately 200 meters long, densely filled with scenes featuring about 2,500 characters.
• Roman Forum - The Roman Forum, or Forum Romanum in Latin, was the most significant forum in ancient Rome, located on low ground between the Palatine and Capitoline hills. During the republic, it hosted public meetings, law courts, and gladiatorial combats, and was lined with shops and open-air markets. Under the empire, it became a center for religious and secular spectacles and ceremonies, housing many of the city’s most impressive temples and monuments. Structures that survive in whole or part include the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of the Deified Caesar, the Mamertine Prison, the Curia (senate house), the Temple of Saturn, the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Romulus, the Arch of Titus, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and the Cloaca Maxima.
• Palatine Hill - Palatine Hill (/ˈpælətaɪn/; Latin: Collis Palatium or Mons Palatinus; Italian: Palatino [palaˈtiːno]) is the centermost of Rome’s Seven Hills and one of the city’s oldest areas, often referred to as “the first nucleus of the Roman Empire.” Today, it is primarily an open-air museum, with the Palatine Museum housing numerous artifacts from excavations here and other ancient Italian sites. Imperial palaces were constructed here, beginning with Augustus. Before the imperial era, the hill was mainly occupied by the homes of the wealthy. Originally, the hill had two summits separated by a depression; the highest part was called Palatium, and the other Germalus (or Cermalus). According to the Forma Urbis, its perimeter enclosed 63 acres (25 ha), while the 4th-century Regional Catalogues enclosed 131 acres (53 ha).
• Arch of Constantine - The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome dedicated to Emperor Constantine the Great. Commissioned by the Roman Senate, it commemorates Constantine’s victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in AD 312. Located between the Colosseum and Palatine Hill, the arch spans the Via Triumphalis, the route taken by victorious military leaders during triumphal processions. Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch, measuring 21 m (69 ft) high, 25.9 m (85 ft) wide, and 7.4 m (24 ft) deep. It features three bays, with the central one being 11.5 m (38 ft) high and 6.5 m (21 ft) wide, and the lateral ones 7.4 m (24 ft) by 3.4 m (11 ft) each. The arch is constructed of brick-faced concrete clad in marble. Although dedicated to Constantine, much of its sculptural decoration consists of reliefs and statues taken from earlier triumphal monuments dedicated to Trajan (98–117), Hadrian (117–138), and Marcus Aurelius (161).
• Colosseum - The guide will showcase the best-preserved sections of the Colosseum, sharing stories of sea battles, gladiator combats, and animal fights. Imagine the crowd’s roar as their excitement was met. Known to ancient Romans as “Anphitheatrum Flavlum” (Flavian Amphitheatre), the Colosseum is the most renowned and impressive monument of ancient Rome and the largest amphitheater in the world. Its name is linked to the building’s large size and the nearby colossal statue of Nero in bronze. In 1990, the Colosseum, along with Rome’s historic center, the Vatican extraterritorial zones in Italy, and the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2007, it was included among the New Seven Wonders of the World.
