Pretty cool. I'm watching it now.

 

Very interesting! Thanks for posting.

Nice video thanks...Really enjoyed it as I've just started reading 'A day in the life of ancient Rome' by Alberto Angela and the video gives nice visuals to compliment the book. I'd recommend this book for some light reading and the unique way the author wanders around Roman homes from the rich to the poor.....At the moment I'm only on chapter 10.10am in the morning an have already learnt a great deal..
