Life & Death in Pompeii with Dan Snow
Buried nearly 2000 years ago under metres of volcanic ash, Pompeii is one of the most spectacularly complete Roman towns in the world. From beautifully preserved homes to loaves of bread and ancient blankets and bedding, Pompeii offers a unique window into what the Romans ate; where they slept; how they washed, cooked and entertained themselves.
In this series, Dan Snow, joined by Jasmine Elmer, will investigate this ancient time capsule to get to the bottom of daily life in Pompeii. As they explore the town from top to bottom, they'll come closer than ever before to the people who lived and died here, from a successful business woman to shopkeepers, slaves, and even a looter caught in the act. Dan and Jasmine will also immerse themselves in the Roman "work hard, play hard" lifestyle, cooking up a feast, drinking Pompeiian wine, working out and being oiled and scrubbed in the local bath house. They'll also uncover bitter quarrels between ancient residents and the gruesome punishments inflicted on criminals.
