HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT TO TAKE A PRIVATE TOUR OF ROME ?

 

Nobody unless a tour guide of Rome with the love for his city will be able to tell you the history of Rome in a such short amount of time to gratify your roman holiday.

 

Rome's spiritual heart is the ancient Forum, considered the market place of the old city. Centuries ago, when Rome was a village, its people met in this open space to trade, to meet between friends and to discuss political affairs. After the death of Julius Caesar the old square was built up with gian temples and memorials, and the markets moved elsewhere.

Can you imagine the old ruling Senate House is still by the Forum?

When Augustus became emperor after the succesful battle against his brother in law and colleague Marc Anthony in the 41 BC, the real center of Rome's power became the emperor palace, located on the Palatine Hill.


Do you know why you should have no problems getting to Rome?

 

Because the Eternal city it's at the center of the finest road system ever built. There are in all Europe over 30,000 miles of superb highway covering the Empire, all built by the Roman army.

A private tour of Rome can explain you how Rome bcame so great and transformed itself through the centuries.


But remember that if you were living 2.000 years ago and if you could hitch a ride on a merchant ship, a great way to get to Rome is up the Tiber river: along the river of Rome hundreds of small crafts sailed to and from the coast, bringing wine, grain and other supplies that the city needed.

 

How the Romans were dressed? A fashionable Roman woman, for example, takes great care with her clothes. She first puts on an ankle-lenght wollen undertunic, with a colorful emboidered dress on top. This can be made of wool, cotton or silk. She then places a beautiful jeweled girdle aroun her waist.


These details and much more a tour guide of Rome can explain you if you are attracted by the ancient life of the Romans.
