It is believed to be related to the bronze statue of about 38 meters, known as the ‘Colossus’, which Nero wanted to be built in his image next to the Domus Aurea, the best known name for the Flavian Amphitheatre. However, it was only in the Middle Ages, with the oblivion of the imperial luxuries and the aristocratic gens, that the name Colosseum began to replace, in the common language, the Flavian Amphitheatre. At that time, the Colosseum was the stage of fierce battles between gladiators, executions, naumachia and hunting shows. About 80,000 spectators watched the fierce fighting from sunrise to sunset, and sometimes at night, when the bloodied gladiators fought by the torchlight of the Colosseum.
Nowadays, guided tours of Colosseum are an unmissable opportunity to admire up close the structure, history and secrets of this extraordinary monument of Antiquity. Specialised guides such as the Professional Rome Guide offer packages for tourist visits to the Colosseum adapted to all types of requirements, a complete and professional service for individual clients, families, groups of friends, travel agencies, cultural associations or academic institutions of all types and degrees who wish to know the wonders of Rome and its province. And after the visits to the Colosseum, you can visit ancient Rome at night and enjoy the spectacle of the lit up Palatine Forum. The visit to the Palatine also includes a visit to the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum, where you can admire the Roman Senate, the Tabularium, the tomb of Julius Caesar and the Temple of the Vestal Virgins. The Professional Rome Guide today represents the best opportunity for tourists and curious people to visit the Colosseum and the Palatine, and fully understand their charm and history. Professional Rome Guide also provides guided tours of Villa Borghese and Massimo alle Terme Palace.
The half-day tour covers the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. The tour starts with meeting your local guide at your hotel or at the metro station of the Colosseum. From here you have a panoramic view of the Hadrian’s Temple of Venus and the spectacular Via dei Fori Imperali. Crossing the road, we enter the Colosseum skipping the line. Next the tour goes to the Arch of Constantine and the Palatine hill - birth place of Rome, and one of the more important hills surrounding the city. On the Palatine hill we can also visit the dwelling of Romulus from 753 b.c. and the House of Agustus, the first residence of Roman emperors, and the Circus Maximus.
