(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Appian Way (Via Appia Antica)Pass-by Only
On your way to the Catacombs, admire the glorious Ancient Appian Way, known as "the Queen of the Roads"! Possibly the oldest road still in existence, it was ancient Rome’s most important military and economic artery and it’s largely intact today! It is made of large, flat stones, it survived thousands of years of rain, wheels, and feet passing over them. Originally built for military purposes, it connected Rome to some of its most distant settlements and was a crucial road for the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar walked it along with thousands of other soldiers, leaders, and consuls. When you walk along the Appian Way, you are walking in the footsteps of Roman emperors, saints (maybe even St. Peter!) The famous slave leader Spartacus was crucified on the via Appia in 71 BC. For its history and beauty, the first 10 miles of the Appian Way are now a part of a regional park, Parco dell’Appia Antica, where the road and the monuments that surround it are protected.
Catacombs of Saint Callixtus
Deep in the green Roman countryside, descend into the ancient world of the Catacombs, a complex network of underground tunnels among the longest in the world, occupying an area of about fifteen hectares and consisting of about 37 miles of tunnels on several levels. The specific catacomb visited, San Calisto, San Sebastiano, or Santa Domitilla, will depend on the day. In any of the catacombs, you will have the opportunity to see ancient frescoes, crypts with inscriptions carved on the walls, niches with the remains of skeletons, small mausoleums, sarcophagi, tombs, and small chapels, which still today, after about 2,000 years, are used to celebrate religious rites. After the tour, back in the sunlight, your driver will take you back to the original starting point near the Colosseum
Terme di CaracallaPass-by Only
The Baths of Caracalla (Italian: Terme di Caracalla) in Rome, Italy, were the city's second-largest Roman public baths, or thermae. The baths were likely built between AD 212 (or 211) and 216/217, during the reigns of emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla.[2] They were in operation until the 530s and then fell into disuse and ruin. Both during and since their operation as baths, they inspired many other notable buildings, ancient and modern, such as the Baths of Diocletian, the Basilica of Maxentius, the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City, Chicago Union Station, and the Senate of Canada Building. Artworks recovered from the ruins include famous sculptures such as the Farnese Bull and the Farnese Hercules.
