Republic to Empire: Walk the Turning Point of Roman History

From Caesar to Augustus

Private Tour

Step into a defining chapter of Roman history, where ambition, betrayal, and political transformation shaped the foundations of an empire. This immersive walking tour traces the dramatic transition from Republic to Empire, from the final days of Julius Caesar to the enduring legacy of his adopted heir, Augustus.

Begin with the ruins of the Forum of Caesar, the site of power consolidation and vision for a new Rome. Nearby, explore the sacred temples and shadowed alleys surrounding Largo di Torre Argentina—believed to be the place of Caesar’s assassination—where political theatre met violent fate, and history turned irrevocably.

Continue through the very heart of the ancient city to the Pantheon—Rome’s best-preserved ancient temple—originally built during the reign of Augustus. As you step inside, you’ll experience how architecture was used not merely to impress, but to legitimise divine authority and imperial power.

The tour culminates at two of Augustus’s greatest architectural declarations: the Ara Pacis, his altar to peace, and his grand Mausoleum—a solemn and imposing monument to the man who redefined Roman identity and left an indelible mark on the Western world.

This tour offers more than a journey through ruins; it is a curated exploration of political genius, dynastic ambition, and the creation of empire. To experience the transformation of Rome through the eyes of its most pivotal figures, contact info@romaexperience.com to begin your journey.
