(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Colonna Traiana
Located in Trajan's Forum, Rome, the column is approximately 30 meters tall, with an additional eight-meter pedestal. Comprising nineteen marble blocks, it weighs 1,110 tons. Bas-reliefs depict the Dacian wars. Innovative techniques include using a tree to separate scenes. Views from the top offer a panorama. Some interpret it as a tribute to a "genocide" against Dacians, but it primarily celebrates the Roman Army and Trajan, not extermination, as Roman wars aimed at economic and cultural expansion.
Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona is one of Rome's most celebrated squares, located in the Parione district. Its shape resembles that of ancient stadiums in Ancient Rome, following the plan of the Stadium of Domitian, also known among Italians as Campomarzio. It could accommodate up to 20,000 spectators in the stands and was named "Circo Agonístico" during the time of Emperor Domitian (81-96 AD). The name has evolved from "in agone" to "nagone" and finally to "navone," coincidentally also meaning "large ship" in Italian.
Pantheon
The Pantheon is a building in Rome, Italy, commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Emperor Augustus (27 BC–14 AD) and rebuilt by Hadrian around 126 AD. Its circular plan features a portico with large Corinthian granite columns (eight in the first row and two groups of four in the second) supporting a pediment. A rectangular vestibule connects the portico to the rotunda, covered by a massive coffered concrete dome with a central opening (oculus). Nearly two thousand years after its construction, this dome remains the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circumference are identical at 43.3 meters.
