00:02The Roman town of Baia.
00:05A sprawling settlement lost beneath the waves for more than a thousand years.
00:12An underwater Pompeii.
00:15Every time we dive, we discover another story about this site.
00:19Renowned among ancient writers as a playground for Rome's rich and famous,
00:24today archaeologists sweep the sea floor in search of its submerged secrets.
00:31Is there more to this mysterious town than its reputation suggests?
00:37For the Romans, Baia was Las Vegas, the ultimate pleasure city.
00:42Now pioneering underwater scanning technology
00:46is bringing the dark history of this submerged underworld back to life.
00:52Lifting the curtain on Rome's rich and infamous,
00:56shining new light on how they really live and die.
01:00This is the place where Rome really became empire.
01:05Could this sunken city transform our understanding of ancient Rome?
01:11To solve this mystery, we'll dredge this drowned metropolis.
01:17We'll dive into the bay's opulent villas and between its buried streets.
01:23To unearth the astonishing secrets of this lost ancient wonder.
01:35Thirty miles along the coast from Pompeii,
01:39lies one of the most remarkable ancient sites in the world.
01:44Baia.
01:45This mysterious sunken town sits beneath the Bay of Naples.
01:49It escapes the eruption that destroys its famous neighbor in 79 AD.
01:55But like Pompeii, it remains frozen in time.
02:00Some of Baia's ruins still hug the coastline.
02:04But they're just the tip of an archaeological iceberg.
02:10Baia is really an incredible opportunity for archaeologists
02:14because it is a well-preserved, unique Roman town.
02:20Just a small portion of Baia's ruins remain visible.
02:25Private theaters and thermal bathhouses descend to the modern shoreline.
02:33But the real wonder of Baia is hidden from view.
02:37Beneath the water, a mass of Roman buildings sprawl across the sea floor,
02:43covering an area three times the size of Pompeii.
02:48Houses and courtyards drowned hundreds of years ago.
02:53Why is this town lying at the bottom of the sea?
02:57What secrets does it hold about the Roman way of life?
03:05Archaeologist Barbara Davide has spent more than a decade diving this drowned ghost town.
03:12She's trying to uncover Baia's forgotten history and explore how it ends up beneath the waves.
03:23Her team's goal is to map, measure and log every ancient item they find here.
03:30It's a mammoth task.
03:34We have 177 hectares of archaeology underwater.
03:39We have to record and document all the archaeological remains.
03:48As soon as they descend, a mysterious ruin emerges from the gloom.
03:55This is the surface of a Roman road.
03:58It's cobbled just like the streets of Pompeii.
04:04The path leads to the remains of a vast mansion.
04:09Brushing away the sand reveals exquisite mosaics.
04:15Thousands of tiles make up each one.
04:19A drowned vision of Roman extravagance.
04:24Most of the buildings we have here are villas, huge properties with luxury rooms with mosaics all along the coastline.
04:35Barbara's team uses underwater 3D laser scanning to create a high resolution snapshot of this mysterious Roman town.
04:44It would have been incredibly difficult to produce something of this quality.
04:48The sand reveals a rich marble floor.
04:54Its colors are still vibrant after 2,000 years.
05:00The sheer scale of Baia's luxury sets it apart from nearby Pompeii.
05:05Why are so many extravagant villas sitting on the seabed?
05:11A clue lies in the structures that remain above the waterline.
05:20Pressed up against the cliff face, a labyrinth of small rooms looks out over the drowned villas.
05:26Hidden deep in the ruins, archaeologists discover a Roman floor suspended 20 inches off the ground by terracotta pillars.
05:36Evidence of an underfloor heating system called a hypocaust.
05:41Beside the pillars, a tunnel plunges into the hillside.
05:46Many more passages chase alongside, from other rooms and buildings.
05:52Why do Baia's inhabitants dig these tunnels?
05:56What is lurking deep beneath this town?
06:04Geologist Guido Giordano believes the answer could explain why Baia sinks beneath the waves.
06:10Today, he investigates one tunnel.
06:14That's quite a squeeze.
06:17600 feet into the mountain, Guido hits a dead end.
06:22An underground river.
06:26There's lots of salt here.
06:28White minerals.
06:30I got a thermometer here.
06:33What?
06:34That's 88 degrees.
06:36And that's way higher than the average temperature out there.
06:42The Romans dig these tunnels to carry heat from the underground river to the town above.
06:49Each one leads back to a luxury bathhouse.
06:55Guido thinks the source of Baia's hot water is the bay's fiery geology.
07:0320 miles to the east is Vesuvius.
07:07When it erupts in 79 AD, it engulfs Pompeii.
07:15Guido believes an even bigger volcano heats Baia and could be the cause of its destruction.
07:22The Bay of Baia is one volcanic crater out of many that form the entire landscape.
07:29They all sit on a giant supervolcano, the Campi Flegrei supervolcano.
07:37Campi Flegrei is a supervolcano on the scale of Yellowstone.
07:42It's one of the largest volcanoes on the planet.
07:49Italy straddles the boundary between two colliding tectonic plates, Africa and Eurasia.
07:59As it dives beneath Eurasia, the rock on the African plate melts into magma that rises to fill cracks in
08:08the crust.
08:11Magma pools and chambers below the surface.
08:15Above them are Italy's famous volcanoes, Etna, Stromboli, Vesuvius.
08:20And below Baia, the magma of Campi Flegrei heats water within the crust,
08:27dissolving minerals and gases for the Roman baths.
08:33But Guido thinks this vast magma chamber has more sinister effects,
08:39which could explain Baia's descent beneath the waves.
08:44He searches the bay's coastline for evidence.
08:49That volcanic cone over there is called Monte Nuovo, which means New Mountain,
08:56because it appeared over the course of just one week between the 29th of September and the 6th of October
09:04of the year 1538.
09:05There are historical accounts that tell us that in the years preceding the eruption,
09:11the ground uplifted up to about 50 feet.
09:15And then, after the eruption, it relaxed.
09:20Guido believes this ground movement is what drowns Baia.
09:25Three miles along the coast is the town of Pazzuoli.
09:29Here, seismic upheavals are not just ancient phenomena.
09:33They're still having an effect.
09:37These are bollards that are used to tie boats to the harbor.
09:43But you can see how they are nowhere near the sea.
09:46They are about two meters above where they should be.
09:51This new surface has been built to put the new bollards in the right position.
09:58This entire harbor has been re-engineered continuously to catch up with this very rapid movement of the shoreline.
10:07The old harbor is still in use in the early 1980s.
10:11But then, over the course of just a few months,
10:14volcanic magma forces up the land by more than six feet.
10:19The people of Pazzuoli have to rebuild their harbor.
10:23Here, the land has risen up as the magma pushes from beneath.
10:28But the opposite has happened in Baia,
10:32where the crust has sunk, taking all the luxury villas down into the Mediterranean.
10:41A stirring super-volcano slowly drags Baia beneath the waves.
10:47But it also gives birth to a Roman spa town,
10:51brimming with giant heated villas.
10:56Who lives here?
10:58And what part do they play in the rise of Rome?
11:15The Roman town of Baia.
11:18A labyrinth of villas drowned by a super-volcano.
11:23Who lives in these lavish mansions?
11:29Specialist underwater archaeologist Barbara Davide is on a mission to find out.
11:36Her first step is to map out and identify each structure on the seabed.
11:43That's a colossal challenge.
11:47The footprint of one villa covers some 21,000 square feet.
11:54This mansion is built around a giant courtyard,
11:57more than 300 feet in length,
12:00almost the size of a soccer field.
12:01In its prime, this is the inner sanctum of a luxurious home,
12:06with monumental hallways,
12:10bordering lavish gardens,
12:12all fed by an elaborate fresh water system.
12:17Lead pipes snake across the area.
12:19In the southern corner,
12:21archaeologists discover a piece of lead pipe with a curious marking.
12:26El pisones.
12:28A name.
12:31Is this a tradesman's signature?
12:35Or the stamp of the villa's owner?
12:39Archaeologist Ferdinando de Simone investigates.
12:42He believes this mansion belongs to a wealthy aristocrat,
12:46a man called Gaius Calpurnius Piso.
12:50Piso was one of the most powerful people in the Roman world,
12:55very prominent in the Roman society.
12:58Piso is a shadowy figure.
13:01Accounts from the times say he has a luxury villa in Baia.
13:06They also reveal he's the ringleader of a conspiracy
13:10to assassinate the emperor, Nero.
13:13Nero was always a wild card,
13:17and people start portraying him as a madman,
13:20as a person who could really threaten the entire empire.
13:25The plan is to lure Nero to Piso's seaside villa in Baia.
13:30Here, the conspirators intend to murder the emperor in secret.
13:35But the plot goes dramatically wrong.
13:38So, unfortunately for Piso, Nero found out,
13:41and his reaction was the reaction you would expect from an emperor.
13:47It basically forced him to commit suicide.
13:53This underwater mansion appears to be Piso's villa.
13:58If it is, it's not the only structure with a dark history.
14:03Baia is the stage where Roman emperors indulge their worst excesses.
14:10The emperor Caligula is said to have lined up hundreds of ships in Baia.
14:15He rides his horse across the bay in an arrogant display of power.
14:21The next emperor, Claudius, dies by poison.
14:25A fate organized by his wife, Agrippina, plotting from her villa at Baia.
14:33She's murdered by his successor, her son Nero, who sends her across the bay from Baia in a boat rigged
14:41to sink.
14:43Agrippina escapes and swims to shore, only to be stabbed to death by Nero's guards in her own luxury courtyard.
14:56Ferdinando believes that Baia is more than just a sumptuous resort.
15:03This coastal town is at the heart of Roman power.
15:10When we think about women politics, we generally picture in our mind Roman senators in the forum discussing things publicly.
15:17But actually, the majority of the decisions were taken much before, behind curtains in private spaces.
15:25Baia is full of secluded spaces, where dark deals are done in shady corners.
15:32This is a private theater. There are the stalls, the private boxes.
15:36And you can imagine it populated by senators doing politics.
15:40You can imagine them gathering little groups, whispering, plotting about what to do next.
15:47And this is basically the role that Baia played.
15:52Archeologist Barbara Davide believes that the underwater ruins back up this theory.
15:58Almost no public buildings have been found at Baia.
16:02That's because the public does not belong here.
16:05Generally, in Roman towns, we find theater, the forum, temples.
16:12In Baia, no, we don't have this type of buildings.
16:17Baia wasn't a working town.
16:21Baia offers a unique glimpse into a lost world.
16:25This magnificent town is an emperor's playground.
16:29It reveals how the most powerful people in the ancient world live and die behind closed doors.
16:38How do they transform this town into the empire's most exclusive resort?
16:43What is life like inside this Roman Atlantis?
17:02The drowned Roman villas of Baia are slowly revealing their secrets.
17:09Underwater archaeologists are uncovering a Roman sin city.
17:13A place of conspiracy, collusion, and murder.
17:18For archaeologist Barbara Davide, this drowned Vegas is a unique opportunity.
17:25It's a chance to pull back the curtain on some of the most powerful people who ever live.
17:33Her team uncovers a town of astonishing beauty.
17:37They painstakingly clean away layers of sediment to expose exquisite mosaic floors.
17:44One mosaic shows a pair of ancient wrestlers locked in combat.
17:50But brushing away this silt reveals the most magnificent mosaic of all.
17:56This is an intricate web of jet black shields.
17:59Right at the heart of a gigantic lost villa.
18:08More than 10,000 black and white tiles make up this dazzling mosaic floor.
18:14Its symmetry and precision are the work of the finest craftsmen.
18:19Beyond, the villa's hallways are lined with small, intimate rooms.
18:24The quarters of prostitutes, ready to serve the owner's guests.
18:30And nearby, the pillar stacks of a suspended, hypocaust floor are the hallmark of a luxurious private sauna.
18:39This decadent villa is the finest that money can buy.
18:44Why is Baia's wealth off the scale?
18:50Barbara uses the laser system to scan the precious pattern mosaic.
18:56The technology allows her to analyze its construction without disturbing it.
19:02The 3D model captures every individual tile in minute detail.
19:08Each tessera is carefully set in a bed of a mortar.
19:13There seems to be a variety of different type of marble used to make the mosaic.
19:21Barbara sends loose or broken tiles to mineralogist Mauro Francesco La Russa.
19:28He thinks the secret to Baia's wealth lies hidden in the fabric of its buildings.
19:34The crystal structure of one sample reveals that it comes from northern Italy.
19:40This statue has beautiful characteristics,
19:45which are typical, with a saccaroide structure,
19:47typical of Carrara's marble.
19:50The pure white marble of Carrara has been used for centuries
19:54to build Italy's most famous monuments.
19:57But the tiles from Baia's mosaics come from all over the empire.
20:03Oltre a Carrara,
20:05abbiamo scoperto la provenienza da diverse parti del Mediterraneo,
20:10come le isole greche e la Turchia.
20:13The villa's owners ship precious foreign stone into Baia.
20:18They spare no expense in decorating these mansions.
20:25Baia's enviable location on the coast helps fuel their insatiable greed.
20:352,000 years ago, the Roman Empire is still growing.
20:41Its rulers bring back countless works of art.
20:46They fill their villas and Baia with opulent displays of artwork and Greek sculptures.
20:58Wine pours in from as far east as Syria and as far west as Spain,
21:03served in the dining rooms of the powerful.
21:09Slaves and exotic animals are brought from overseas
21:12to entertain in gladiatorial combat.
21:20Baia's residents fill their homes with every luxury imaginable.
21:24But they also build them to last.
21:29Mauro believes these ruins survive a thousand years underwater
21:34because the builders use super strength materials,
21:39concretes and mortars unique to the Bay of Naples.
21:55Mauro discovers the secret of the material strength using a high-power electron microscope.
22:04The volcanic rock creates an incredibly durable material when mixed with lime.
22:11These new minerals enter into the elegance,
22:16enter into the small pores,
22:19and increase the resistance and durability of the malts.
22:25Mortar and concrete from Baia aren't just strong.
22:29They even harden underwater.
22:34Archaeologist Ferdinando De Simone believes this local wonder material doesn't just build Baia.
22:41It also transforms the empire.
22:45Just by creating some wooden frames and pouring some concrete in it,
22:49they could create a harbor.
22:52They didn't need any more natural coal.
22:57Rome ships volcanic ash from Baia across the Mediterranean to construct concrete ports overseas.
23:04In return, wealth floods back into this town.
23:09This is the place where they really nurtured how to become an empire.
23:14But Baia's elegant villas are not the only underwater ruins in the Bay of Naples.
23:21Just along the coast lies an enormous concrete labyrinth.
23:25These ruins are vast and rugged.
23:29What are they doing here?
23:32Is there another side to this city in the sea?
23:50150 miles southeast of Rome.
23:55Archaeologists are uncovering an underwater Pompeii.
24:00Baia.
24:02Their discoveries reveal a unique town, studded with unimaginable riches.
24:13This sunken metropolis is a window into a forgotten world.
24:19But much of the sea floor remains unexplored.
24:23Today, marine archaeologist Barbara Davide and her team investigate a stretch of coast just east of Baia.
24:32We know the underwater structures here are very extensive.
24:39The huge part of the archaeology hasn't been mapped.
24:45As the team dives, it's immediately clear that this is a very different set of ruins.
24:52Instead of luxury villas, huge angular structures and thick walls emerge out of the murky water, covered in centuries of
25:01algae.
25:06The contrast with Baia's opulence is huge.
25:09There are no courtyards or statues here, just row upon row of small boxy rooms.
25:18Their walls are solid blocks of rough Roman concrete, mixed with ash to give it strength.
25:27And the floors are not mosaics, but opus signium, mortar mixed with broken pottery, to give it a practical and
25:36durable covering.
25:41What is this giant maze of solid concrete?
25:52The most unusual features are a set of large columns standing proud on the sea floor.
25:59They're perfectly square and more than 10 feet across.
26:05Barbara believes their presence suggests this area is a harbor.
26:10It looks like Pile, a huge structure built to protect the port from the storm.
26:20Pile are a crucial component of Roman harbor engineering.
26:25These concrete pillars project above the water.
26:28They're positioned to shield jetties, breaking the waves that could damage ships in port.
26:35Why does Baia need such a gigantic harbor next door?
26:40Barbara needs a wider perspective to decode large areas of unmapped archaeology.
26:47She uses a high-definition drone to view the site from above.
26:52From the air, an entire complex is visible.
26:57A series of regular rectangular structures dominate the seabed.
27:03They appear to be traders' warehouses.
27:06But Barbara believes they aren't here when the port is built.
27:11This is no merchant harbor.
27:14It's the entrance to an enormous naval base.
27:20What we can see now is the original entrance.
27:24Here is the channel, and at the end of the channel we can see the lake that in the past
27:33was the most important military harbor in the Mediterranean, Portus Julius.
27:41This massive port is legendary.
27:44It's named after Julius Caesar, the most famous Roman in history.
27:54Engineers build this port from two volcanic lakes that lie behind Baia's coastline.
28:04They cut huge channels to link the lakes to the open water and build a massive concrete breakwater.
28:14The Roman fleet based here can sail out from the harbor and attack any ships trying to blockade the Bay
28:21of Naples.
28:26Ferdinando de Simone believes the creation of Portus Julius supercharges the expansion of the Roman Empire.
28:36Within 20 years, a new improved port is built in the bay, four miles to the south of Baia.
28:44And with it, the infrastructure to support a massive floating army.
28:51This is the Piscina Mirabilis.
28:53It looks almost like a cathedral.
28:56With these huge vaults and this massive construction.
29:01But actually, this is a reservoir.
29:03The largest reservoir that the Romans have ever built.
29:07The reservoir is capable of holding up to three million gallons of drinking water.
29:14It's enough to supply a fleet of 250 vessels.
29:19For Ferdinando, it's evidence that the bay is home to a formidable military machine.
29:26This was a central point for keeping control over the Western Mediterranean.
29:35Baia's mighty naval base doesn't just protect its wealthy residents.
29:40This hulking megastructure transforms the entire Roman world.
29:47If the Romans had never come to this area, they would have never been able to conquer the entire Mediterranean.
29:55Baia is key to the empire's rapid expansion.
30:01It changes the course of civilization.
30:04But how could a small town of luxury villas be the engine of the Roman Empire?
30:11Is there more to Baia than meets the eye?
30:29The sunken town of Baia is transforming how we see ancient Rome.
30:36It's home to some of the richest people in history.
30:41And next to an enormous naval base.
30:45Is Baia actually just a tiny part of a vast forgotten metropolis?
30:53Marine archaeologist Barbara Davide is making one more dive.
31:02She's slowly piecing together the town's true extent.
31:0920 feet below the surface, she enters an incredible drowned room.
31:17It's part of a palace that belongs to the Emperor Claudius.
31:27Fish swim between statues of gods and heroes, encrusted with sea urchins.
31:37Two thousand years ago, these fine sculptures stand proudly along the walls of a fantastic dining room.
31:45In the center is a huge salt water pool.
31:49It's a banquet table for floating dishes of food.
31:55At the head of the room, a magnificent centerpiece.
32:00Three imposing statues recreate a famous Greek myth.
32:04The hero Ulysses stands with his comrade Baios, after whom the town is named.
32:13They're prisoners of the legendary Cyclops, the mythical one-eyed beast.
32:21The underwater team carefully measures and photographs each individual statue.
32:27In Roman times, this fantastical grotto is the Emperor's private pleasure chamber.
32:33It's famous across the empire.
32:38Archaeologist Perdinando de Simone thinks an ancient picture of the Cyclops' grotto
32:43can help reconstruct Baia's lost coastline.
32:49This is a drawing of a shard of glass, which belonged to a flask, a bottle.
32:54And here is depicted Ulysses, who is giving a cup of wine to the Cyclops in order to make him
33:00drunk so that he can escape the cave.
33:03The shard is part of a small collection of engraved vessels that portray the buildings of Baia.
33:09Each flask shows a slightly different picture of the town.
33:14What we can see here are the two most prominent buildings that you can see from the sea.
33:19They should have been impressive, very tall, big domes, and they were private baths.
33:26Actually, these buildings are still preserved today.
33:29We have a big dome over there for one of the buildings, and the circular buildings over here.
33:38But alongside the buildings of Baia, on every flask is another structure, an imposing system of arches.
33:47Ferdinando believes it's a vast jetty.
33:51This is a pier where ships would have docked.
33:54You can imagine this structure going into the sea.
33:57But actually, this wasn't here with the baths and the villas.
34:01It was on the other side of the bay.
34:03The trade harbor that puts Baia at the center of Rome's Mediterranean network is three miles away,
34:10in a neighborhood called Puteoli, modern-day Pozzoli.
34:16During the first century BC and the years afterwards, Puteoli was the most important harbor of the Roman Empire.
34:24Here was really the heart of the Roman economy.
34:31As Rome grows, there are ever more mouths to feed.
34:36It must import food from across the empire.
34:42The nearest port, at Ostia, is too shallow.
34:46But across the bay from Baia, Puteoli is a natural deep water harbor.
34:52Huge ships can dock and unload tons of grain, which is shipped up to Ostia and Rome in smaller boats.
35:05The port at Puteoli keeps Rome's growing population fed and happy.
35:14Today, Puteoli and Baia are separate towns.
35:19Ferdinando thinks that 2,000 years ago, they are one.
35:23His investigations reveal a lost cityscape stretching across the entire coastline.
35:30We are not talking about two separate entities, Baia on one side and Puteoli on the other.
35:36But actually, there are very many buildings that connect the two areas.
35:39And this created a huge metropolis, one of the largest in the Roman world.
35:45This area was crucial for the way in which Rome operated.
35:50This bay is Rome's second city.
35:54It stretches from the grand villas of Baia, now lost beneath the waves,
35:59to the thriving jetties and warehouses along the coast,
36:04and the mighty naval base that guards it all.
36:08Baia is the cornerstone of the Roman Empire.
36:13But could the same forces that helped build this civilization
36:17one day bring our world to its knees?
36:35Archaeologists are discovering that the town of Baia is much more than a resort for Rome's elite.
36:42It's one part of a Mediterranean megacity that builds the Roman Empire.
36:47But could the same forces that sink Baia one day bring the modern world to ruin?
36:56Archaeologists work out that the volcano drags Baia even deeper underwater.
37:03By 800 AD, the town sits several feet below modern levels.
37:10Baia has been slowly emerging from its watery grave ever since.
37:15For geologist Guido Giordano, it's an ominous sign.
37:21Baia is rebounding. The crust beneath is slowly rising. It's coming back up.
37:28Baia's drowned villas are being thrust upwards because magma is building up below.
37:35The supervolcano is waking up.
37:38And if Campi Flegrei explodes, it could make the eruption that buried Pompeii
37:45look like nothing more than a campfire.
37:49Guido believes that to predict a supervolcano's future, you have to study its past.
37:55He examines rocks Campi Flegrei deposits thousands of years ago.
38:00Let's go.
38:03He melts hundreds of samples back down to magma.
38:06It means he can study the rock in its original state, inside the volcano.
38:13The thicker the magma, the more explosive the eruption.
38:19Samples from a 10,000-year-old deposit are too thick to flow.
38:25So does it flow at all, Ale?
38:27No.
38:29Not even at 1,500 Celsius degrees.
38:33Wow.
38:35So this molten rock doesn't flow. It's very, very thick.
38:39Under the enormous pressure of a volcanic eruption, the magma would not flow,
38:45would actually break up, producing an explosive eruption rather than a lava flow.
38:51This sample comes from the crater directly beneath Baia.
38:56Guido's team analyzes dozens of samples from this event.
39:00From the data, he can piece together the eruption's progression.
39:06When we analyzed many samples from this eruption,
39:10we found there wasn't just one eruption.
39:12There were actually two, one after the other.
39:16The eruption of the first one released the pressure on the second
39:21and allowed the next eruption to occur.
39:25A double eruption suggests that beneath Baia there is more than one magma chamber,
39:31or a series of chambers all connected.
39:36A complex network of magma reservoirs could be very bad news.
39:41A small eruption might destroy much of the Bay of Naples.
39:45But if it sets off a chain reaction, where could that lead?
39:51The largest eruption at Camp Fregret occurred about 40,000 years ago,
39:56when this super eruption blew out ash all over the continent.
40:06The change in climate is considered responsible by many scientists for the decline of the Neanderthal
40:14and the replacement with modern humans.
40:18You can imagine how catastrophic an eruption of these size could be if it happened in modern times.
40:28The volcanic forces that bring Baia to ruin remain a threat.
40:34One day they could even bring down modern civilization.
40:38Baia is far more than an archaeological curiosity.
40:42This forgotten metropolis is the power behind Rome.
40:46It transforms this mighty civilization into the superpower of the ancient world.
40:53Before coming to this area, Rome was still one of the smaller players in the Mediterranean.
41:01This entire region provided so many goods and natural facilities that really helped Rome to grow.
41:22This was not just the playground for Roman emperors.
41:25This is the place where the Roman economy and politics was made.
41:33A new story is emerging from the shallow waters of the Mediterranean.
41:39Baia is forgotten by history.
41:42Today, it is swallowed by the sea.
41:45But this metropolis changes the course of civilization.
41:49Baia is the town that builds Rome.
41:52The ancient world's most successful empire.
41:59What say?
42:28By the island of Balachon's offices, its continents are around 3 up to different�
