The Roman civilisation would probably have to take the prize of the greatest contributor to lifting the quality of human civilisation in the world , naturally along with Greece as well , the two go hand in hand .

The more I learn, the more also I realize how little I really know! Another site I never had a clue about.

Thanks and please see our hundreds of videos! Start with Via Appia 👋

Interesting, educational and amazing channel, I am bingewatching it in my spare time currently. Your channel has so many videos about lesser known Roman cities, ruins and other remains I never heard about before, like this one. I liked your series about the Via Appia a lot! there is still so much left to see! Anyway, the reason I wanted to leave a comment : -> I once visited Toulouse. A really beautiful city, with some ancient roman ruins itself. I was wandering rather aimlessly in the city, enjoying the sights and happened on an ancient, shabby looking church there. Nothing special on the outside, but a nice small garden in romanesque style. I went inside and to my big surprise, it contained the remains of Thomas of Aquino under the altar! If it's really him, I don't know. But as you mentioned him, It came back to my mind.

Thank you Darius, for introducing these "unknown" Roman places to us, including the archaeological remains and digs. Excellent. Thank you. I hope you show us more of these places, and also if new work takes place there. A question for you: you show the marble columns that were about to be sold for recycling and reuse. That was a lucrative work. But what about the concrete walls? Was there any use for them in "recycling"? I always wondered since so much of thinner walls are gone.

Hi Darius, again a great job ! Interesting, I haven't been there yet. If you are talking about the ANCIENT VIA LATINA, I would recommend you to have a look to the excavated part of the ancient via latina in the park of the acqueducts located parallel to the Via Tuscolana and if you haven't seen it yet, a part of the ancient Via Latina next to the Arco di Travertino (near to the metro and bus station) with its tombs on both sides and an eventual house and workshop of an undertaker.... where it starts and where this part of the street finishes, makes me really sad... because modern roman streetplanners destroyed it to build over and on the other end..illegal small factory halls and houses as well are directly constructed on its continuation, but fortunately this part is well preserverd.

Yes, we know it - should do a video of it in the future.

St Thomas was of Longobard origin - they were a Germanic people who took over most of Italy from about the sixth century AD onwards replacing the eastern Roman empire.

How did they figure out which were the men's and women's facilities?

I'm not an archaeologist. How do you go about excavating, and knowing what loose pieces go where? If it were me excavating this, I wouldn't know where to start, and I'd end up destroying it. :(

You can always volunteer on a dig (worldwide) to get the experience. There is a lot of work to select a site. Nowadays, ground penetrating radar and other tech are used to have a clearer picture before excavating.. Records of the various strata are meticulously kept (photos, drawings, scanning) along with the finds. There is plenty of info online once you start to google search.We plan to share a series on the process. You can already see our videos on live digs (Palatine, Gabii, and others in our KZread channel).

Surprising to see the supports for the new roofing over the baths resting right on top of the ancient walls. Since the archaeologists & preservationists are the professionals I acquiesce to their learned abilities on that point. The other aspect of this is that they have the confidence the ancient walls can support that weight.
