Lost Lives of Pompeii | Best History Documentaries

Thank you, a great overview.

You Don't Prounce the "L" in Words you speak. Beudings for BuiLdings!! Pepoe for PeopLe!! It's Not Difficult to pronunce the "L" in Words. Try It!!

I would wager that the people living in the small accommodations next to the wealthier buildings were probably teachers or something like clerks for the owners. Even in colonial Virginia when you visit the still standing plantation homes they will have separate accommodations available for a teacher or some overseer type. Sometimes rooms located in the lower level with work shops but sometimes a small separate building. They needed to be near by but obviously separate.

Well done! I read a lot of Lindsey Davis' books, who writes historical fiction of this era, and programs like this one add visual references to what she brings to life on the printed page.

Remember travelling to Pompey by train.

Memories of a visit 6 years ago - thanks Tristan, you have bought these people and memories alive!

Brilliant history. Thanks

Thank you for this. It was so enjoyable outstanding.

The Palestinian wine might not have been "experimental" - it might have just been very expensive!

I remember visiting Pompeji at an age of 17. The most memorabel things was the dog sign Cave Camen i think it stood. And then the was the house of the brother vetti . And on a sign it stood that no pregnant women and Young girls should go in. I remember when i Watch that enormous male genitals if there where that should have seen it/ it for sure the pregnant women had seen it before

Thoroughly enjoyed this

Spartacus

Actors, Dancers, Gladiators and Prostitutes = Entertainment. This was the lowest level of society. Did the Romans know something we don't?

And now in 2025 we have a volcano heating up and threatening to erupt. Which city will be the next Pompeii?

How did the Roman government maintain records of who had and had not paid taxes?

"One can imagine the aroma of food around every corner mingling with raw sewage, sweat, BO, rotting garbage and animals..."

I am always enthralled to watch anything about Pompeii ❤❤!!
