The last day of Pompei
Can one of the most catastrophic events of the ancient world become the most incredible archaeological adventure ever?
Live stream event from Rome, with SIMONE L., licensed tour guide of Rome and the Vatican City, Archeologist, Egyptologist with 15+ years of experience
-Live Q&A
-Contents suitable for children
When Mount Vesuvius literally exploded in 79 AD , the ancient city of Pompei was cancelled from the face of the Earth. 1700 years later the archaeologists brought back Pompei to life. No ancient city has ever been found in such a wonderful state of preservation.
We'll follow Pompei's citizens for the last few hours of life. We'll shed light on their dreams and fears, their daily challenges and loves. A journey through political corruption, trades, slavery, gladiators fights, graphitti, incredible wealth and absolute poverty.
Attendance is FREE, but TIPS are appreciated
