You will feel like you saw everything after 2 days, I promise.
You've got some good advice on what to do, but I couldn't even see one tenth of the churches that I would like to see in 2 days.
That reminds me, I forgot to mention Tiber Island and St Bartholomew's.
All Roma-philes in here should check out Louisiana's very own retired Latin teacher turned professional tour guide. His books and blog alone should be enough to make you realize the immense amount of research he does on the subject matters in order to provide good and entertaining tours.

quote:Is this the same Vincent Drago who taught at DeLaSalle in the 1970's? I just clicked on his blog. One section I found particularly interesting was the one on the Theatre of Pompey. This is where the Roman Senate was meeting in 44 B.C. when Julius Caesar was stabbed by Brutus there. The blog mentions the Hotel Teatro di Pompeo which is built on the ruins of the old theatre. We stayed in that hotel last April. The breakfast room downstairs is carved in to the grey stone walls which are part of the foundations of the theatre. Mr. Drago mentions a restaurant on the site. Another restaurant built among those ruins is Hostaria Costanza. We have eaten there twice. I recommend it to the OP. Very good Italian food in historic surroundings. It is just off Campo di Fiore.
