Ancient Rome’s Dark Side – Ghosts, Betrayals & Imperial Blood

Description
Rome wasn’t just built on glory — it was built on blood. This two-hour walking tour traces the Eternal City’s violent foundations and the ghosts that history couldn’t silence.
You’ll hear how Rome began with a fratricide and a kidnapping, then grew into an empire where emperors were murdered in their own homes and condemned prisoners were left to rot on the city steps. Discover the secrets of the Suburra — once home to brothels, riots, and scandal. Visit the cursed streets and haunted ruins left behind by power-hungry rulers and disgraced empresses. And finally, overlook the Colosseum: a monument to state-sponsored killing, paid for by conquest and soaked in the blood of the forgotten.
This isn’t just a history tour — it’s the side of Ancient Rome that polite society tried to forget. No costumes, no gimmicks, just sharp storytelling and the truth beneath the ruins.
