Discover the history, features, and stories behind this iconic entertainment venue. The Colosseum, officially known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, began construction around 72 AD and was completed in 80 AD. This remarkable engineering feat took the ancient Romans approximately 8 years to finish, designed to entertain the citizens of Rome.
Explore the political and social context of the Roman Empire before, during, and after the Colosseum’s construction. Understand its purpose and significance within Roman society.
- Roman Forum - Just a short distance from the Colosseum lies the Roman Forum: the political, religious, judicial, and financial heart of Rome and the entire Roman Empire.
This is where a city that was once a minor regional power became the center of the most powerful empire of ancient times. Here, the Romans developed the politics, laws, and administrative systems that continue to influence our world today.
As Rome’s initial core expanded on the nearby Palatine Hill, the Romans began settling in the lower areas. The site of the Roman Forum was once marshland, but even during the regal period, it was chosen as the city’s social, political, and religious hub.
Here, you can explore some of ancient Rome’s most significant buildings: the Senate House, temples, basilicas, and more.
Immerse yourself in the heart of the Roman Empire by visiting the Roman Forum!
- Palatine Hill - Overlooking the Roman Forum is Palatine Hill, where Rome was founded on April 21, 753 BC.
This is where Rome’s first nucleus formed, and where the homes, villas, and palaces of kings, emperors, and notable figures were located.
Romulus chose Palatine Hill as it was considered the best of Rome’s seven hills due to its ideal and central location.
Like other ancient civilizations, the Romans preferred high ground near rivers for early settlements, providing strategic advantages against military attacks and frequent flooding.
Stroll on the hill where Rome’s history began. Learn about the city’s early history, the founding myth of Romulus and Remus, and how Romulus became Rome’s first king.
Explore the ruins of the once grand structures of the imperial residences of Rome’s emperors!
