You meet at Trajan's Column with the city already in motion: scooters humming, sunlight slanting off carved stone, and the Tiber threading the old city like a patient hand guiding you south. The next two hours fold through narrow lanes where history leans close — the Theatre of Marcellus's stone face, the Corinthian shadows of the Porticus Octaviae, and the hush that grows as you approach the Great Synagogue.
