History Trips to Rome

Roman history has a great impact on much of the world’s history including the building of the Roman empire, the creation of the Catholic church and Fascism. Rome is a beautiful place to visit and offers a variety of historical and cultural references.

No school history trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the ancient Roman sports arena, The Coliseum (Coloseum, Colosseum), which was built during the reign of Emperor Vespasiano c. AD 72 and dedicated in AD 80 by his son Titus. The popular name of Coliseum came about because the immense oval stadium was situated next to a colossal statue of Nero. Another popular visit is the Pantheon built in 27 BC as a temple to all gods and is the best preserved of all the ancient Roman buildings.
