Rome's Sunken City

Ancient records marked a modest Tunisian coastal town as the location of a one-time thriving Roman metropolis called Neapolis, but for centuries there was little archaeological evidence to support such a claim. That all changed when a massive storm in 2013 exposed the ruins of ancient streets and buildings beneath the Mediterranean Sea. This discovery reveals the city was probably the largest center for the manufacture of garum, a fish-based fermented condiment which was a delicacy in the ancient Roman world. Join a team of scientists as they investigate the submerged city in hopes of revealing new secrets about the rise and fall of the world's greatest empire.
