Power and Glory of Imperial Rome 0:58 |
Select Italy's Honors & Awards: |
This tour traces the history of Rome from the pinnacle of its power during the Imperial period until its decline and fall. In the year 27 BC Augustus became Rome's first emperor. In his memoirs he wrote: "I found a city of stone and bricks; now I leave it to you of marble." In the following century the Empire expanded to become an enormous state and Rome, its capital, grew to become a metropolis of 1.5 million people. Today, monumental ruins and imposing buildings remain to reveal not only the glorious past of the "Eternal City", but also its political, religious, and social organization. Starting from the Pantheon, in the middle of the so called Campo Marzio (the Field of Mars), the tour will take you through the most evocative monuments of classical antiquity: the Pantheon itself,the most impressive and best preserved Roman building, covered by the biggest cupola ever built by the Romans, recalled as a "celestial vault" by the historian Dion Cassius; the Capitol, where a terrace overlooking the Palatine and Roman Forum will offer one of the most magnificent views in Rome; the Imperial Forums and the Colosseum.
