Fun fact. It is because of Pompeii we have an idea what a Roman Soldier truly looked like. Most of the time Romans cremated their dead. One Roman soldier was found nearly perfectly preserved with the remains of his uniform, gear, and coin purse. The dead of Pompeii are like time travelers. But they can't talk.....but with technology we can help them whisper a little.

There is of course no feeling of a 'presence' but I felt like a trespasser walking around in those houses... without the owner's permission.

Here in Campania we have some signature landmarks that just cannot be ignored: Herculaneum (Ercolano), Pompeii, Oplontis, Stabiae (Stabia), Sorrento and Amalfi Coasts, Capri, Ischia, Procida and of course Naples being probably the jewel of the crown. The Vesuvius is fascinating and, together with pizza, is one of the key and distinguishing elements of Naples in the world. I’m happy to realize tourists are enthusiastic about all of this and I hope they enjoy their stay. If you truly love Italy, you can’t miss these places and the south in general like Apulia, Sicily, Calabria and Basilicata. To be fair though, there’s not a single region in Italy that isn’t full of attractions and landmarks and that doesn’t deserve to be visited. 🇮🇹 Great documentary, well done.

I spent 2 days there in 2013, and I remember thinking that they should recreate the whole place as it was before the AD79 eruption, somewhere safe but close. They could have locals working there full time being Roman bread sellers, fishmongers, wine merchants etc., tourists could try Roman meals, there could be gladiators in the arena and performances by actors in the forum. It would be one the biggest tourist attractions in the world, there would be nothing else like it... a true step back in time. It would take enormous funding of course, but so do places like Disney World and this would be so much better; no time machine required, just the price of entry and there would be less people trashing the actual ruins.

Thank you for this fascinating program! I am so glad that such a variety of technology allows us to re-create this most valuable piece of history! I visited it in 1966 and was so overwhelmed, I was up all night, writing a mini "novel." (Having going up to Mt. Vesuvius before visiting the museum and the entire city, truly had an enormous impact). The face of the soldier which you showed, almost seemed at peace. It was a harsh death for most, and the final pyroclastic surge finished anyone who still stayed behind. It was very sad to see some the bodies, also a poor, chained dog, contorted in agony! (He we are 2000 years later, and still chain dogs, often not even protecting them from heat or cold). It is interesting to read Pliny the Younger's description of this cataclysmic event. It is well written. His father, unfortunately, took a nap in order to assuage the people's fears. He under-estimated the severe peril, having witnessed volcanic eruptions in other countries, and those must have been much less disastrous. How marvelous, that some papyrii have been found - imagine what we might learn! I wouldn't bee surprised if we will find many more, ancient ruins in (now) out of the way places).

@@danniis9444 your definitely right when talking during the 2nd, and 1st century bc, and the 1st century ad. It depends on the era however. Early on, and especially just before Romes hight in the 2nd and 3rd century, definitely, they were almost universally slaves with a few free citizens fighting in there. This made a ton of money for the owners of these slaves, and also a ton of money for whichever free citizen would fight. These slaves wouldn’t live nearly as badly as other slaves might. They made a ton of money, so their cost would barely be a drop in the bucket. Besides, them being in good spirit and having an actual incentive to fight well, would have been useful. Don’t get me wrong, they certainly wouldn’t live glamorously, but not terribly. By the hight of rome in the 2nd and 3rd century the number of citizens had risen significantly, though slaves still made up a decent majority. Since there was just a ton of money and fame to be had, citizens might have just decided to do for themselves. When rome became Christanized, a man named Tertullian wrote about his ideas that the gladiatorial sport was immoral and pagan. Constantine, the first Christian Roman emperor decided to ban the sport for free citizens and slaves, and transition to using especially heinous criminals. After around a decade of that he decided even that was barbaric, and ended the practice all together.

My then 5 year old son was so good with the long walk. He even made me buy the gladiator costume out on the kiosks and posed for pics without end! The calcified people and animals you see there are not the real ones, they're molded from the real ones and the original bodies are preserved elsewhere in a protected area (my son didn't see that, he went to the streets with his dad). They're sad to see but the amazing sophisticated city was a sight to behold. Ercolano is another place to visit, smaller than Pompei but rich on things to see (it's on the west side of Mt. Vesuvius.
