In the Colosseum, admire it's grand architecture and engineering. As we know gladiators sometimes fought to their death, many were injured significantly but often nursed back to health by the women who provided them medical care. What was the extent of their medical knowledge, and how did they treat some of these injuries? Your expert guide will provide you with all of the details.

On the second half of the tour see the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Learn of the origins of Rome, the monarchy, the republic, and imperial eras, and about some of the influential wives, mothers and daughters of these eras.
