What's included in Christian Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring)
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Circo Massimo
Circus Maximus, the large ancient stadium where chariot races were held for the entertainment of Roman citizens and royalty alike. If you have ever watched the film, Ben Hur, you can imagine the action that took place here 2,000 years ago on this 540-meter long track covered with sand! Although only the traces of this once incredible stadium remains, you can just imagine how imposing it must have been in Ancient Rome with the capacity to seat up to 250,000 spectators. In the lowest two tiers, the seats were made of stone and concrete, the upper tiers were made of wood. The external side of the stadium was surrounded by arcades in which shops were set up for the spectators - much like modern-day stadiums offer shops and eateries for the spectators.
Basilica Papale San Paolo Fuori le Mura
St.Paul outside the Walls Basilica, the second largest basilica in Rome after St Peter’s Basilica. It has the words "Outside the Wall" because it was erected outside the Aurelian Walls - the ancient 3rd-century Roman walls that enclosed the city and protected it.
Appian Way (Via Appia Antica)Pass-by Only
The Appian Way, one of the most strategically significant roads of Rome built in 312 BC - making it one of the earliest roads of Ancient Rome. It connected Rome to Brindisi in south-east Italy and was used as the main route for military supplies and troops. The existing roads at that time were from built by the Etruscan and lead in a different direction. The Appian Way was considered by the Romans to be the "Queen of the Long Roads" According to Christian tradition, it was along the Appian Way that an escaping Peter encountered a vision of Christ, inspiring him to go back into the city to face certain martyrdom.
