Rules of Behaviour

Following the natural boundaries of the ancient Palatine, Velian and Oppian Hills, and including the valley of the Forum and the Colosseum, the Park covers a vast archaeological area, mostly on uneven terrain. Many areas are accessible by ancient paths, often rocky and uneven, with ancient steps that are not always level. In addition, the Flavian Amphitheatre contains some very steep steps and paths, which are sometimes rough and uneven.
