My guy. You're filling this Rick Steves shaped hole in my heart. Thanks for that.

Wonderful. I really like your videos.

Did you notice that it was much cooler in the below ground rooms?

Pretty cool. Thanks.

San Francisco has it's own story of a monastery. Alas, there was a fire that burned some of the crates with the stones. The numbers of the stones was compromised & the structure was never built. A visit to the botanical garden you can see the stones used throughout the garden as decoration.

I very much enjoyed visiting the Place Vendome in 2018.

mosaics have highest level of artistic and technical craftsmanship… just stunning

Who would have lived in these impressive buildings? If Roman aristocratic families, why were they here? Merchants, bankers, government officials? (I guess aristocrats would not have been merchants, actually...or??)

Fantastic, thanks for sharing!

They must have mass produced tile amazing the last building had Roman swastika’s tiled in the floor absolutely amazing great video !!!

Thanks. Please make a similar video about Volubulis (Morocco).

I have to ask, were the sponges on a stick a one time use thing, or did some poor slave have to clean all the sponges at the end of the day, just saying, that's a shitty job

Was this city destroyed by an earthquake?

Sure wish we could make time travel a reality so we could visit Dougga, as it was.

I like how you can see the ruts in the road at 6:11, from thousands upon thousands of carts wheeled through that street.

Great video

Interesting. Reminds me of a smaller but more intricate version of The Penshaw Monument near Sunderland, England.

Roman style, not Roman?

I own a coin from Thasos. A tetradrachm from around 150 bc, so after the end of the Hellenistic age and end of the reign of Philip V. It has a portrait of Dionysos on the obverse and Heracles on the reverse. Beautiful coin on from a important beautiful Island.

Super interesting. It looks fantasticly preserved and doesn't appear to have a load of modern development encroaching on it from all angles, unlike pretty much all the rest of Roman cities.

Wow ! Thanks 4 the great video!

These people were way ahead of their time. Insane

Very cool. Thanks for this.

Great. Did you go to El-Jem?

Well done, excellent overview of events and interpretation of the trophy.

I will never buy any product advertised on you tube. They cause irritation.

Wonderful, thanks🙂

Хайде сега да снимате циганското гето 300 метра в южна посока... Ще Ви платя 10 лева ...

Aren't the rags on a stick toilet brushes? What evidence is there that people wiped themselves with them? Aren't the keyholes for genitals to hang down? I think academics who come up with this nonsense are so disconnected from reality they don't understand how basic human functions work..

Interesting how the byzantines did quite a bit of damage to ancient Rome, look at many cities and they demolished to build churches , forts etc. And lets not forget the gothic wars, that truly laid waste to Rome and Milan. Its almost a meme, "we are here to save Rome"

I visited it. Tunisia was a province part of the Roman Empire for several centuries.

Those building keep much better than building that got abandoned like 10 years ago

Absolutely amazing & cool!!!

I was spending the summer in Spain and had heard of this amazing Roman theater built I believe not far from or at Cartagena i took the local train to town near there, i climbed all the way up the hill and learned to check the hours that it was open. Needless to say it was a day trip that didn't work out. I must return some day.

Speaking on old, have u considered visiting the caves in the Southwest of Native Americans, or central and south American sites?

Have u visited Cleopatra's needle in Central Park behind the museum?

Have u visited the Copy of the acropolis (spelling ?) in Nashville I believe?

interesting where there doors or curtains between the rooms?

I noticed some writing on the ground His children are also buried there?

I found Tunisia to be dripping with ancient ruins. Just scuffing a flat spot in the ground might reveal a mosaic.

I can provide pictures and locations of other lesser known roman cities in Tunisia if you are interested.

Beautiful. Thank you.

It's beautiful!

Great video! I really like the way to cover the placement of the Capitolium. I am starting to become a doubter in the sponge stick for ancient TP. Seems more likely the keyhole, which sort of resembles our current public toilet seats, were more likely to help prevent urination on the seating surface. This is my only contribution to ancient archeology thus far.

Always think that it was 2 degrees warmer in the roman period. There was no desert and no higher water level in Europe, but no glaciers in the Alps and the agriculture did run very good,

👍👍❤

Feel like Roman Africa is not talked about enough. It was super urbanized and the cavalry from the region was super famous.

Was there several years ago. Amazing destination.

is this the original or a replica?
