Q&A
  • What was the Roman Colosseum used for?

    The Roman Colosseum was used as an entertainment venue where many games and spectacles took place, such as the still famous Gladiator battles. The ancient stadium (also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre) was initially built to restore Rome and the morale after several turbulent years of reign with activities commencing the first day, as Titus kicked off the grand opening of the Colosseum with 100 days of games.
  • Where did Gladiators fight in Rome before the Colosseum?

    Even though the ritual began well before the erection of the Colosseum, the origins (and location) of the first Gladiator fights in Rome are still not completely clear or confirmed. Some ancient historians have the practice dating back to the Etruscans, some the Punic Wars of the 3rd century, others as being part of the funeral ceremony for wealthy important nobles – sometimes in a public outdoor space, sometimes in a private residence, other times an arena was actually built. While the ‘when’ and ‘where’ are still under debate, there is no doubt that any of the Gladiator battles that took place prior to the Colosseum would ever compare.
  • How many gladiators died in the Colosseum?

    While it is nearly impossible to know how many gladiators died in the Colosseum exactly, some sources estimate that 5,000 gladiators where killed each year, while the total number of deaths that took place in the arena is believed to be approximately 400,000 - between gladiators, slaves, prisoners, etc.
  • Which is the best description of a Roman Forum?

    The Roman Forum (Foro Romano) is the rectangular shaped area situated between two of the seven hills of Rome – Palatine Hill and Capitoline Hill and what remains of Ancient Rome’s city center. Once the location of important political, religious, social activities, and markets, the Roman Forum is the most important archaeological site in history with some of the most impressive and well-preserved ruins remaining. And along with the Colosseum, is one of the most famous tourist sites in Rome and the world.
  • How much does it cost to go to the Roman Forum?

    Tickets to the Roman Forum always include Palatine Hill and usually also a visit to the Colosseum, depending on the tour option you choose. The cost to go to the Roman Forum and Palatino – general admission and without a tour guide - is 16 euros if you go in person or 18 euros if you purchase tickets online. But ordering your tickets in advance is always recommended and will save you time in line.

Fantastic!
Our tour guide, Laura antonucci, was great! She gave us the right amount of information which didn’t feel like an overload or too little. She covered all the major spots, pointed us to each and every detail, and told us all the background behind those details in the monuments. Highly recommend a tour with laura!

Una giornata a spasso per la storia
La visita guidata di 3 ore con ingresso Prioritario ai monumenti vale assolutamente ogni euro. La nostra guida Laura ci ha fatto immergere nella roma antica e ci ha fatto letteralmente “vedere”gli episodi e gli aneddoti narrati. Sono stato a roma decine di volte ma non avevo mai partecipato ad una visita così! Davvero bravi ed una menzione speciale perla guida Laura antonucci!

Claudio
Claudio was an oustanding guide , gave us individual attention and made sure we understand the story behind ancient rome. Very polite- even though i managed to forget my mask at the hotel he gave me one. Made jokes and just managed to make yhe long 3-4 hours experience go by like minutes. 10/10

Guide très intéressante : Rosalia Gangemi
Visite du colisse avec Rosalia gangemi, avec qui on avait visité le musee du vatican. Nous ne sommes pas des spécialistes de l'histoire, mais elle nous a retracé les dates importantes, attiré notre attention sur les technologies de l'epoque et les spécificités architecturales. Elle a été attentive à nos questions, patiente avec nos photos. elle a rendu la visite passionnante par son partage de ses connaissances, sa sympathie et son humour.Si NOUS retournons à rome, nous souhaiterions la reprendre comme guide.

Très bonne visite avec des explications claires et détaillées. Merci à Pascal de nous avoir fait partager ses connaissances sur le Colisée, le mont Palentin et le forum romain .
Stephanie - 11/11/2019 22:17
We spent a most enjoyable morning exploring the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum. Our guide was excellent and made it very interesting and entertaining. We learned so much about Ancient Rome from this experience. Highly recommended.
Marilyn R - 09/11/2019 08:56
Our guide, Barbara, was so knowledgeable and also made the tour extremely entertaining.
David - 06/11/2019 18:32
Visite complète et intéressante du Palatin, du Forum et du Colisée. Le système d’oreillette et récepteur radio est très pratique, on entend bien toutes les explications du guide et on peut prendre les photos à sa guise sans déranger le groupe ni le perdre. Le guide Pasquale parlait très bien français et pimentait ses explications d’anecdotes amusantes. Skip the line est un atout pour la visite du Colisée : entrée rapide et beaucoup moins encombrée qu’ailleurs et accès à la plateforme intérieure de l’arène avec vue sur les souterrains.
Patrick - 02/11/2019 23:33
Tres belle visite guidée. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les sites et notre guide tres compétent et tres sympa.
