From Colosseum & Arch of Constantine, I walked over to Palatine Hill. As I mentioned about this issue in my post on Copenhagen, almost each and every city in every European Nation, went through more than one major fire outbreak.

Rome went through it in 64 CE and that happened here in Domus Aurea and Palatine Hill very close to where Emperor Nero's palace was situated. Originally, till 10 C BCE this place was used as a burial ground and the surrounding places as a residential area with remain of huts, ceramics etc. This is a trapezoidal area and was created as a business & market place.
To Get There:
Nearest Metro Station: Colosseo
Entry Ticket to Palatine Hill (combined with Colosseum): €12.00
Free entry during first Sunday of every month.
Here are some tips:
There are way too many sites that sell tickets for entry and I had a tough time to figure out which is real and which is fake, so let me make your life easier - Official Colosseum Tickets by CoopCulture
At any given point of time there can only 3000 people inside the monument so its pretty much impossible to get the ticket there. So pre-book as early as possible.
Palatine hill is in ruins and totally uneven flooring. So footwear has to be sturdy enough to take the toll.
