Here is the starting point
Piazza del Campidoglio
From this ancient hill of Rome, you will have a remarkable view over the Roman Forum. From here, you will hear the remarkable stories of Empress Julia Domna and those of the Vestal Virgin Priestesses
Arco di Giano
A wonderful, yet lesser-known angle of the city of Rome. In this marvelous square, you get the chance to see a unique perspective of Palatine Hill. Besides, the 3rd century AD "Arco degli Argentari", the 2nd century BC Temple of Hercules, and the 13th century church of "San Giorgio al Velabro" make a magical atmosphere
Foro di Cesare
While at the Forum, we focus our attention on the ruins of the Temple of Venus Genetrix. This temple was commissioned by Julius Caesar. There are still ruins visible, and I show recreations of what it once looked like. Here we talk about Cleopatra
Tempio di Portuno
This is a fantastic archaeological area of Rome, which is full of enchanting remains
Teatro di Marcello
The theatre of Marcellus represents a crucial spot for this tour. We talk about his mother, Octavia, who was married off to Marc Antony. Besides, I also show the recreation of the Columna Bellica. Back in the 1st century BC, Emperor Augustus threw a spear dipped in blood against that particular column, when he informed people that Rome was going to war against Cleopatra
Il Portico Di Ottavia
Empress Livia, the wife of Emperor Augustus, represents the conclusion of this storytelling walking tour. She is known as the first First Lady in the history of the Western world. Her story is powerful and deserves to be known
This concludes the tour.
