Summary

Baiae, an ancient Roman city lost to the same volcanoes that entombed Pompeii. But unlike Pompeii, Baiae sits under water, in the Bay of Naples. Nearly 2,000 years ago, the city was an escape for Rome's rich and powerful elite, a place where they were free of the social restrictions of Roman society. It was the Las Vegas of its day.

Notes

Title from container.

Originally broadcast on PBS in 2017 as an episode of the television series Secrets of the dead.
