The chapter explores the world of classical archaeology through the experiences and insights of Dr. Darius Arya, a prominent figure in the field. From the historical origins of the name 'Darius' to the intricacies of excavating ancient sites like Ostia Antica, the discussion delves into the rich layers of Roman history. Revealing details about everyday life, societal structures, and opulence, the chapter showcases the fascinating discoveries and challenges faced by archaeologists in uncovering the past.
If you LIVE for drama, you will LOVE dead Romans. Wars, murders, opulence and uprisings: a little something for everyone. Classical Archaeologist and TV host Dr. Darius Arya dishes 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. And what we can learn from it.
