Discover ancient rituals and traditions surrounding gladiatorial games, Roman food, family structure and the Senate. Delve into the geographical layout of the city: The Seven Hills of Rome, the Colosseum and its surrounding buildings, marshes and hydraulic engineering. Explore the lives of emperors and see how Julius Caesar was deified by the Romans.
