Secrets of Pompeii, Chapter 4
Historian Dan Snow, ancient world specialist Jasmine Elmer, and Dr. Kate Lister investigate this extraordinary time capsule to reveal the everyday lives of the real ancient Romans.
Dan and Kate explore the working lives of Pompeii's inhabitants, from the richest to the poorest. The city was a hive of activity, as almost everyone, from wealthy merchants to humble slaves, earned a living.
They explore what the Romans did in their free time: from an open-air gymnasium and public baths to Pompeii's enormous theaters and the bloody gladiatorial games.
They discover that crime and violence were a daily threat: robberies were commonplace, and a day of fun could even end in mass murder.
