Summary

Rome was once the most powerful city in the Mediterranean, sending out soldiers, administrators and traders to order the affairs of provinces as far apart as Britain and Mesopotamia. Within a small area, thousands of years of cultural history have left incomparable riches of art and architecture in their wake. On this tour archaeologist and Italiophile, Oliver Gilkes, is on hand to help you unravel this complex web of history. Exploring with Oliver, we meet the Romans at every level of society from the senatorial grandeur of the Forum to sailors and merchants at the once bustling harbour at Ostia.

This tour is designed for those who want the expert guidance from an Andante Guide Lecturer, a carefully curated itinerary and easy access to the sites but with free time to explore, revisit sites and make your own discoveries.
