Join one of our top rated tour guides for a private, customizable and insightful deep dive into ancient Rome and the games at the Colosseum. The ancient Romans where obsessed about their Colosseum, much like we are with sports today. But unlike today, the favourite games of those who lived 2000 years past, the events they most enjoyed tended to be immersed in blood and slaughter. Just exactly how these games played out, the sorts of “stars” one would expect to see there, and the way a day would unfold for both the spectators and performers is the fascinating topics that your private LivTours guide will unpack for you.

Their vivid descriptions of the past, along with supportive imagery will zip you back in time, enabling you not only visualise what it must of looked like, but also hear the roars of the crowd, the commands of the emperor, and perhaps even the smell of blood, sweat and fear.

You’ll get a comprehensive overview of the different divisions of games commonly exhibited, everything from wild beast hunts, prisoner executions and of course, gladiator combats. You’ll marvel at the sorts of exotic animals that were brought to fight, and be surprised about how they managed to bring ferocious beasts from Africa and Asia, all the way to Rome, without the aid of modern animal tranquilizers. You’ll learn about the sorts of petty crimes that could get you thrown to the lions or burnt at the stake at the lunch time entertainment, and uncover the truth behind the belief of mass Christian persecution in Romes Colosseum.

And let’s not forget about the focus of this LivTalk, the gladiators! You’ll discover the origins of this brutal sport and various types of gladiators that would fight. You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss with your guide the various truths and myths associated with the gladiators as depicted in common movies and TV series.

During the tour, you’ll be “face to face” with your guide for 60 minutes through your computer screen. To keep things interesting, they will also be using images to support the narrative of the topic, and because this is a private experience, you can ask your guide as many questions as you like as you progress, for a fully customizable and dynamic experience.

And the best thing? This Private experience is available between 7am and 10pm CET time, 7 days per week! To convert to your time zone: https://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/
