800 Years of Gladiators: A Self Guided Rome Walking Tour

Despre activitate

Rome's gladiatorial games didn't begin at the Colosseum - they began in a cattle market, at a senator's funeral, with six fighters and no emperor in sight. This self-guided walking tour traces eight centuries of combat, power, and spectacle across the city that turned violence into a sophisticated entertainment system.

The route runs from the Colosseum along the Palatine Hill to the Circus Maximus, where chariot star Gaius Appuleius Diocles once earned a fortune in prize money. In the Forum Boarium, you'll stand where Rome's first recorded gladiatorial combat took place in 264 BC - a funeral rite, not entertainment. A terrace on the Capitoline Hill opens onto a thousand years of temples layered above the Forum. The walk closes past Trajan's Forum and the Basilica of Maxentius, back at the Colosseum.

Perfect for history lovers who want more than a photo stop. Install the free VoiceMap app and enter the ticket code from your confirmation email to download the tour and start walking.
