Lastly, your tour guide will accompany you to the location believed to be where Romulus established the city in 753 B.C. The region is home to lavish ancient palaces that remain adorned with intricate artifacts and mosaics. These grandiose palaces were not only inhabited by Rome's elite, but they also served as enormous repositories of opulence, containing every conceivable luxury. The Palace of Domitian, for instance, even contained an amphitheater within its walls, spacious enough to accommodate chariot races! Additionally, you will have the opportunity to witness a fragment of an ancient Roman aqueduct.
