Episode notes

Archaeology is like a fascinating parfe of abandoned junk, says Ben Cohen. Take me through a dig in rome and how you piece it together from the beginning to the end. And what kind of tools are you using? Tell us about your excavations at ostia antica - the port city of Rome.

If you LIVE for drama, you will LOVE dead Romans. Wars, backstabbing, opulence and uprisings: a little something for everyone. Classical Archeologist and TV host Dr. Darius Arya is back for an encore of this 2018 classic to dish about priceless garbage piles, lead poisoning, ancient political scandals, pottery graveyards, unearthing sculptures, tomb discoveries, what's under European cities, and how Roman society was a little like America these days. But also a lot different. With new bonus material recorded in April, 2022 in my sister’s garage.
