S.U.P.E.R., acronym for Seven Unique Places to Experience in Rome,’ is the new cumulative ticket that gives access to seven sites within the Archeological Park of the Colosseum: besides the Colosseum itself, the Roman Forum and the Palatine, the special ticket includes a visit to seven sites that are normally closed to the public, or accessible only through guided visits or during special exhibitions.

The seven sites are the Criptoportico neroniano (the 130-meter tunnel where Caligula was thought to have been murdered, and which Nero later used to connect his Domus Aurea to the Palatine), the Palatine Museum, the House of emperor Augustus, the House of Livia (Augustus’ wife), the Aula Isiaca (an underground room belonging to a noble house from the Republican era, only recently reopened to the public), the temple of Romulus (built by emperor Maxentius in memory of his son Romulus), and Santa Maria Antiqua (one of the earliest surviving Christian churches in Rome, dating from the 6th century).
