Itinerary
We will start our tour by the Roman Forum. This is where in the morning of March 15, 44BC Caesar woke up after a restless night. He had nightmares, the ceiling of his house collapsing over him. Calpurnia, his wife, had nightmares too. Perhaps she is unsettled by rumors that someone wants Caesar dead.. As Caesar prepares for the day, Calpurnia begs him to stay home. She has a terrible feeling. Caesar begins to think she may be right. But then there is a knock at the door. It’s Brutus, he tells Caesar the senators are waiting for him, the agenda is full of important matters. Caesar looks at Brutus, one of the people he trusts most in his life, almost like a son. And he decides Brutus is right: he cannot miss the Senate that day. What he doesn’t know is that Brutus is also the organizer of the conspiracy and that the plan is already in motion. Ignoring Calpurnia’s worried gaze, Caesar steps outside and closes the door behind him. The last walk of Julius Caesar has just begun.
We will walk through Piazza Venezia and learn about the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II. It was in this area that Caesar, on his way to the Senate and surrounded by the crowd, was given a written message with a warning about the conspiracy he was walking to. But Caesar put that message in his pocket, planning to read it later..
In this area we will spot many ancient signs hiding in plain sight, connected to an ancient Egyptian temple which was located right here. The Romans in fact were really fascinated by the Egyptian culture. Especially since Caesar hosted Cleopatra in Rome.
This is where Caesar met his end. Learn about the last hectic moments that led to Caesar's assassination and see the exact location where he fell.

Federica is the BEST STORYTELLER she immerses you in the experience. You know how you love a great author because they bring you into the adventure and you envision all activity, this is exactly what she does. I felt like I learned more about this Roman history of Caesar and the ides of March in this 2.5 hours than I have learned trying to read up on Roman history or watching any documentary. Federica has hidden gems to point out and makes you ponder what power, corruption formed this great kingdom it was a very exciting informative evening and I highly recommend

We booked a private tour because the time of the tour didn’t fit our schedule. Fredrika took us on the journey back in time to the Ides of March 44BC. As we walked along the path she explained the events of the day leading up to Julius Caesar’s assassination. She was very knowledgeable about many details. Her presentation was engaging as we visited the sites Highly recommend her and her tour company. Thank you for a great experience.
