In the city’s political, social, and commercial heart, you will walk the Via Sacra and the Via Nova, weaving around arches and towering temples. See the Senate House and the remains of the Rostra, where Senators made laws and orators addressed the public. Learn about the myth-shrouded Romulus and Julius Caesar from your expert guide.
