While touring this Colosseum, your guide will share insights into the experiences of Jewish captives, particularly after the destruction of the Second Temple, when Jews were brought to Rome as slaves following the Roman conquest of Jerusalem.

Next, explore the Roman Forum, the heart of ancient Roman political and religious life. Visit key sites like the Temple of Saturn and Arch of Titus, which is particularly significant for Jewish history due to its depiction of the spoils from the Temple of Jerusalem, including the Menorah.
