The Life of Julius Caesar: Rome Private Half-Day Walking Tour

Explore the Rome of Julius Caesar, born to an impoverished aristocratic family in the ‘suburban’ with zero political ambitions, Julius Caesar was not expected to become a consul of Rome let alone its sole dictator in perpetuity, and one of the most famous and influential men in history. An astute politician and brilliant military strategist, Caesar, powered Rome into expansion, decisively defeating enemies and winning the hearts and minds of the common people. The contributions he made have echoed through history - including the introduction of the Julian Calendar in Rome, setting the year at 365.25 days, divided into 12 months. Your Tour of Julius Caesar’s Rome will delve into the archaeological roots of the city to follow in his footsteps. Discover Caesar’s place of birth in 100BCE - Suburra, a down-and-out area where the trendy area of Monti now stands, and end your tour where his life ended in brutal fashion on the steps of the theatre of Pompey at Largo Argentina.

Begin at the mighty Circus Maximus, where Caesar will have come to watch the races, famous for being the largest stadium for chariot racing in the world, with marble seating for over 250,000 spectators. Admire the stunning views of the ancient palaces of the Palatine cascading down the hill, and wander down the hill towards the River Tiber and look over the bridge to Trastevere where Julius Caesar had a villa and where he housed Cleopatra.

Head towards the centre of governance in Ancient Rome, the Capitoline Hill, and be wowed by the spectacular view overlooking the ruins of the Roman Forum, the cradle of the gods and of ancient civilization, and at the far end, the Colosseum. See the buildings that were begun by Caesar including the temple to Venus, and the Curia, and his spy's humble resting place in the centre of the Forum.

Walk back through Piazza Venezia, through the picturesque Jewish Ghetto toward the spectacular ruins at Largo Argentina. End your tour here with the dramatic story of Caesar’s assassination, on those very steps! Stabbed 23 times by his enemies, so the blame was shared; including his trusted friend, Brutus, is where the mighty Julius Caesar was finally toppled.
