Overview

Begin your tour by descending 5 meters below street level to explore the former circus in all its dimensions. As you walk, receive details about the travertine blocks, brickwork, and marble columns of the main entrances. Travel back in time and look at a selection of unpublished photographs, 3D reconstructions, videos, and informative panels that tell the story of the Stadium of Domitian. Learn about the development of the site into its current piazza, as well as the evolution of ancient Roman sports. Towards the latter stage of your tour, see artifacts from the days of the Roman Empire found during archaeological excavations. These include fragments of sculptures and a torso made from Pentelic marble from the quarries of Penteli, north of Athens.
