Reiseverlauf

1. 1

   Appian Way and Aurelian Walls

   The fist stop will be at the Domine Quo Vadis Church - where the encounter between Jesus and Saint Peter took place and the miraculous footprints are still preserved. According to the apocryphal Acts of Peter, Saint Peter met here the risen Christ while Petrus was fleeing persecution in Rome. According to the tradition, Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" (Latin: Domine, quo vadis?). Christ answered, "I am going to Rome to be crucified again"

2. 2

   Catacombs of Rome

   Entrance ticket and guided tour of the Catacombs of S. Callisto or S. Sebastiano (according to availability) is included. The catacombs of St. Callixtus are among the greatest and most important of Rome. They originated about the middle of the second century and are part of a cemeterial complex which occupies an area of 90 acres, with a network of galleries about 12 miles long, in four levels, more than twenty meters deep. In it were buried tens of martyrs, 16 popes and very many Christians.

3. 3

   Once on the Appian Way again we will stop and enter the Circus Of Maxentius – the second biggest Roman circus that was probably never used, set of the film Ben Hur.

   The Circus itself is the best preserved in the area of Rome, and is second only in size to the Circus Maximus in Rome. The only games recorded at the circus were its inaugural ones and these are generally thought to have been funerary in character. They would have been held in honour of Maxentius' son Valerius Romulus, who died in AD 309 at a very young age and who was probably interred in the adjacent cylindrical tomb (tomb of Romulus).
