Colosseum & Roman Forum
Step inside two centers of public life in Ancient Rome: the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. The Colosseum is one of history's most famed arenas. As you learn about the gladiatorial contests, executions, animal hunts, and plays that were held here, close your eyes and imagine the roar of the crowd (it's believed that it could hold up to 80,000 spectators during the height of the Roman Empire!). Then, stand in the Roman Forum, the former heart of the Roman Empire, where Julius Caesar gave many of his powerful political speeches.
