Top places to visit

1. Colosseum

Work on the Colosseum, the largest amphitheatre in the world, was started under the rule of the emperor Vespasian in 70 AD and completed ten years later by his successor and heir, Titus. In its day, it could hold a crowd of 50,000 rowdy Romans who would cheer and hurl abuse at the gladiators performing in the bloody entertainments down below. Although the thronging masses are now a distant memory, the physical building is very much still in existence despite being rocked by earthquakes, ransacked by stone thieves and eroded by air pollution.

The Roman Forum, nestling in the valley between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills, was the veritable epicentre of the entire Roman Empire, which spanned some 6.5 million square kilometres in its heyday. The ruins that make up this compact yet revealing site provide a magnificent insight into what life in ancient Rome must have been like, and by exploring these crumbling remains you’ll be able to get a pretty good idea of how the citizens lived.
