Primus Pilus Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 This film retraces the rediscovery of the catacombs, subterranean burial places and hideouts beneath the streets of ancient Rome. It finds in the dark galleries the traces of early explorers and the signatures, graffiti and inscriptions they left. These early underground explorers include legendary figures such as Antonio Bosio and Giovanni Battista de Rossi, the scholar who laid the scientific basis of modern Italian archaeology. This film sheds new light on an underground world where silence dominates but images retell stories voiced many centuries ago...

Ludovicus Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Primus Pilus, Thanks so much for the link to the Archaeology Channel. There are dozens of interesting short videos to watch there. I've just finished enjoying "The House of Julius Polybius" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
