Your guide takes you through the city, starting at the Vatican Museum, eventually leading you through the inspiring walkways of the Roman Forum. The sprawl of ruins was first erected in the 7th century BC and evolved into a social, political, and commercial hub of the empire. The main thoroughfare of Via Sacra eventually leads to a pathway around the original seat of the Roman Senate. A 75-foot tall Arch stands at the end of the path commemorating the victory over the Parthians.
