    Subsequent episodes are an on-the-ground guide to various sites in Rome, explaining what you’re seeing and how it intersects with the Christian story. This episode is a bit different, and today we’ll cover three things. First, we’ll talk about the purpose and the format of these podcast tours. Second, you’ll get a crash course on Roman history. Finally, we’ll end with a brief overview of the origins of Christianity.

  • Colosseum & Arch of Constantine
    Feb 22 2019
    Standing between the Arch of Constantine and the Colosseum is a good spot to experience two events which had a tremendous impact on the Christian faith. In the Colosseum we see a structure built by the emperor Vespasian, who captured Jerusalem and destroyed its Jewish temple. In the arch we see a monument to the emperor Constantine, who began the Christianization of Europe.

  • Trajan’s Column & Basilica
    Feb 25 2019
    Trajan’s column and basilica—it doesn’t get more Roman than this. Standing among the ruins of one of Rome’s greatest emperors, you’re also deeply connected to Christian history. This tour has two stops; at both we’ll examine the Roman persecution of Christians. You’ll end your tour very close to Trajan’s market, and there is a separate tour for that site. You might consider tagging a stop at the markets onto the end of this tour.
