In the middle of the valley where the artificial lake of Nero's Domus Aurea used to be, stands the Colosseum, the largest amphitheatre in the Roman world, known for its exceptional architecture, for the fame of its gladiators and games, and for its fortune over the centuries, from medieval and Christian reuse to ideological reuse, which have made it the symbol of an empire and today the symbol of the city of Rome in the world. Our guide will take you to discover anecdotes and curiosities about the life and habits of the Romans and the Gladiators who put on a show in the Colosseum. Not far away stands the Arch of Constantine, the largest of the three triumphal arches still intact in Rome, a superb example of the stylistic and ideological changes linked to Constantine's vision of art.
