The Life of Julius Caesar: Rome Private Half-Day Walking Tour

Explore the Rome of Julius Caesar, born to an impoverished aristocratic family in the ‘suburban’ with zero political ambitions, Julius Caesar was not expected to become a consul of Rome let alone its sole dictator in perpetuity, and one of the most famous and influential men in history. An astute politician and brilliant military strategist, Caesar, powered Rome into expansion, decisively defeating enemies and winning the hearts and minds of the common people. The contributions he made have echoed through history - including the introduction of the Julian Calendar in Rome, setting the year at 365.25 days, divided into 12 months. Your Tour of Julius Caesar’s Rome will delve into the archaeological roots of the city to follow in his footsteps. Discover Caesar’s place of birth in 100BCE - Suburra, a down-and-out area where the trendy area of Monti now stands, and end your tour where his life ended in brutal fashion on the steps of the theatre of Pompey at Largo Argentina.
